Hello,

Metachat is a good idea and I'd like to get one working myself.

Nothing referenced on the fxmaster.de site is working anymore - can you please provide the PHP source to metachat? Much thanks.

 

This article should be seriously edited, the internetLib.mqh included look to be deprecated and can caused a random invalid access in wininet.dll

You should use the internetLib included in this article to avoid difficulties -> Using WinInet in MQL5. Part 2: POST Requests and Files

This library do his work without issues
