I have a multi user chat application with four files as under:
log.html,
index.php,
post.php and
style.css
I have installed these on server (host :megaleech.in) & there are two following concerns that I am facing:
a) chat inputs do not reflect inside chat box when user press the send button. b) We need to press exit button two times instead of one to take the user to login form.
You can see it on domain: http://demo.megaleech.in/chting/
It should be noted that this chat application is working perfectly fine on wamp server on my personal laptop and above mentioned concerns are only when I upload files to said internet server.
Please help in resolving concern.
Thanks in advance.
My codes are as under:
log.html : This is empty file
index.php
<?php
session_start();
function loginForm(){
echo'
