Abstract (Description of Research)
Chat rooms are a common feature in much of today's software. While many web applications could benefit from them, developing individual chat implementations can be repetitive and time consuming. Furthermore, publicly available and integrable chat components are difficult to find.
We created a general-use chat component for PHP web applications using the Yii2 framework. Our component features chat rooms, asynchronous messaging, and contact management. It is widely applicable, customizable, documented, and can be easily extended by future developers.
