Building a custom online chat
You can run a node js with socket Io as a WebSocket service and then use Apache to proxy it, you could still use your HTML served by Apache with no problem. Also, there's an implementation of socket Io written in PHP, maybe it worth take a look https://github.com/walkor/phpsocket.io

Server response to AJAX request, or a websocket approach. Do you have media to recommend to learn this ? Thank you
If neither works I do not have experience with the next. But a Socket.io type implementation could work. Could make a simple web API in node to handle just the events/web sockets. Can also look around to see if anyone has made any implementations of Socket.Io for php that would work with the Socket.Io JS client library. Here's one, don't know if it works or how well.
