This web application will allow anyone to register using a first and last name and then once logged in it shows the user a list of people that are logged in right now. If they click user 2's name it pops up accept or cancel buttons for user 2. Once they click accept a chat box appears instead of the list of users you can chat with. It only allows you to chat with 1 person at a time. Later we could allow you to chat with more than 1 person in a chat box or more than 1 chat box at a time like gmail. It also allows you to upload a file which shows up as a link for the user you are talking with. The file gets uploaded to the mysql database as a blob. Ajax checks for new messages once each second. When the user stops chatting all the messages and files uploaded gets removed from the database from that session.
