Basically I wan't to implement the equivelent of a live online fantasy baseball draft on my site. Essentially the same thing that you can do on yahoo fantasy baseball. How do I do something like in php?
 
I'm not sure what Fantasy Baseball is...but to do a live chat you can't do it in simply php. PHP only updates when the browser is refreshed, so you would need to learn Ajax, which is a mixture of PHP and javascript, to be able to do it.

Try this tutorial:

Might be a bit complex at first, try learning some basics of Ajax, but it tells you everything you need to know.
