Im working on a page with a chat and some other things. These things MUST be updated every one to two seconds from my database. I tried to do this with an ajax load.

function autoRefresh_div(){
    $("#chats").load("chats.php");
}

But yesterday we had about 100+ people on the site and each of them is loading the chat and all other stuff every second. To make it short - it crashed the webserver and we had about 50GB http-traffic in less than 30min.

Is there any other way to load my chat and all other things? Maybe iframe?

build a queue and send reponse to client machine. make a simple ajax request to read the queue if msg is there then get the data – Raghavendra Aug 24 '15 at 11:47

Thanks @SzabolcsPáll websockets working very well at the moment for the chat. But I have to read some json from php script and display it to the users, too. Is there any example code to handle it? – Tobias Thiele Aug 24 '15 at 21:27
