I need teachers to send messages to the students and vice-versa? Should I and can I build something like that with average knowledge or should I use a chatting api on my website? I use php, mysql for back-end and for front-end standard languages.

It depends on how much custom functionality you need – sina.ce Feb 27 '22 at 15:45

@sina.ce I need basic text messaging functionality , filter messages like read,unread and that's all. – buggyduck Feb 27 '22 at 15:46

I think if you can use external API, it makes much more sense because of ease of implementation – sina.ce Feb 27 '22 at 15:54

your welcome, you can also use existing chat solutions like whatsapp and telegram and control their behavior via server APIs – sina.ce Feb 27 '22 at 16:02

I'm developing chat solutions for many years. For live chat using PHP is a rather bad idea in the present days, because of the way it works. It's better to use a platform that acts as a server e.g. nodejs, java etc. However, it's not impossible. According to your question: it depends on your budget and requirements. Building a very simple chat server is an easy task, but each additional feature makes this task much more difficult. – Antek Mar 07 '22 at 09:55
