This is actually a pretty easy feature to add to a chat. You are first going to need a place to store the typing information. I usually just store it in a database. 1<\/code> for is typing, and 0<\/code> for not. You are going to want to use a smart setup so that when typing only 1 request is sent to show you are typing and not everytime you hit the key. I have mine set up with a timer so when the user stops typing for 2000 milliseconds, the typing setting for that conversation is set to 0<\/code><\/p>\n

My Script looks like:<\/p>\n

var typing = false,\n    shift = false,\n    timer;\n$(\".chatText\").unbind('keyup keypress blur').keypress(function (e) {\n    if (e.keyCode == 13) {\n        if (e.shiftKey !== true) {\n            shift = true;\n            return false;\n        }\n    }\n}).bind('keyup', function () {\n    if (shift) {\n        Connect.messages.send(id, to);\n        Connect.type(id, 0);\n        shift = false;\n    } else {\n        clearTimeout(timer);\n        if ($(this).val().length > 0) {\n            if (!typing) {\n                Connect.type(id, 1);\n            }\n            timer = setTimeout(function () {\n                Connect.type(id, 0);\n            }, 2000);\n        }\n        if ($(this).val().length == 0) {\n            Connect.type(id, 0);\n        }\n     }\n}).blur(function () {\n    Connect.type(id, 0);\n});\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Connect.type<\/code> function: <\/p>\n
type: function (id, t) {\n    if ((t == 0 && typing) || (t == 1 && !typing)) {\n        $$.connect.staticRec(btoa($$.TRANS.d(\"L2FqYXgvdHlwZS5waHA\/aWQ9\") + id + $$.TRANS.d(\"JlNFVD0=\") + t)); \/\/ajax\/type.php?id={id}&SET={t}\n    }\n    if (t) {\n        typing = true\n    }\n    else typing = false;\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
ajax\/type.php<\/code>:<\/p>\n
<?php\n    require \"connect.php\";\n    require \"user.php\";\n\n    $number = $data['number'];\n    $id = escape($_GET['id']);\n\n    if (strlen($id) < 4 OR strlen($id) > 6 OR (int)$_GET['SET'] > 1) exit();\n\n    $FOTQ = $mysqli->query(\"SELECT `from` FROM `typing` WHERE `id`='$id'\")->fetch_assoc(); \/\/from or to query\n    $FOT = ($FOTQ['from'] == $number ? 'from' : 'to') . 'typing';\n\n    $type = escape($_GET['SET']);\n\n    $mysqli->query(\"UPDATE `typing` SET `$FOT`='$type' WHERE `id`='$id'\");\n?>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Informing the user using Server Sent Events (note: my own SSE function):<\/p>\n
var $id = $(this).data(\"id\");\nvar item = $(\".messageBox[data-id='\" + $id + \"']\");\nitem.data(\"orgName\", item.children(\"name\").text());\n$$.connect.live.create({\n    url: $$.TRANS.e(\"\/ajax\/typing\/\" + $id),\n    message: function (e) {\n        item = $(\".messageBox[data-id='\" + item.data(\"id\") + \"']\");\n        if (e.data == \"1\") {\n            var name = item.children(\"name\").text();\n            var firstName = name.split(\" \")[0];\n            var hasName = name.match(\/[0-9]\/) ? \"User\" : firstName;\n            item.children(\"name\").html(hasName + \"..is typing\");\n         }\n         if (e.data == \"0\") {\n             item.children(\"name\").text(item.data(\"orgName\"));\n         }\n     },\n     duration: 2500\n}, \"typing\", false);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
My typing.php<\/code> for the Server-Sent Event:<\/p>\n
<?php\n    require \"connect.php\";\n    require \"user.php\";\n\n    header(\"Content-Type: text\/event-stream\\n\\n\");\n    header('Cache-Control: no-cache');\n\n    set_time_limit(1200);\n\n    $id = escape($_GET['id']);\n    $number = $data['number'];\n    $ms = 100;\n    $tS = 0; \/\/type stat\n\n    while (1) {\n        $FOTQ = $mysqli->query(\"SELECT * FROM `typing` WHERE `id`='$id'\")->fetch_assoc(); \/\/from or to query\n        $cts = $FOTQ[($FOTQ['from'] == $number ? 'to' : 'from') . 'typing']; \/\/current type stat\n\n        if ($tS != $cts) {\n            echo \"data:\" . $cts;\n            echo \"\\n\\n\";\n            $tS = 1;\n        }\n\n        echo \"\\n\\n\";\n\n        ob_flush();\n        flush();\n        usleep($ms * 1000);\n    }\n?>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
I’m using Server-Sent Events. That allows me to keep an open connection with the server.<\/p>\n
NOTE:<\/strong> My PHP skills are Meh.<\/p>\n
But, hope this gives you an idea.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
