Category: PHP Script Codes > How to implement COMET with PHP
Comet is a programming technique that enables web servers to send data to the client without having any need for the client to request it. This technique will produce more responsive applications than classic AJAX. In classic AJAX applications, web browser (client) cannot be notified in real time that the server data model has changed. The user must create a request (for example by clicking on a link) or a periodic AJAX request must happen in order to get new data from the server.

I will explain in this document how to implement a simple Comet application with PHP programming language.
