It depends for how many users you want to create it. Coding a group chat for up to 20 users is quite easy, all you need to know is just basics of HTML, PHP and SQL. You might be interested in those courses:

You can just create a page with a form to submit a message. All your users will visit this page and if you add some JavaScript timer or AJAX to refresh the page every few seconds, it'll look and feel like a live chat.

If you want to make something bigger for more users, refreshing the page every few seconds would fry the server. You'd have to use websockets and create a custom server, which is quite complicated.

Omit the double quotes in the mysqli_connect() function, you're putting strings into another string. It should be like this:

mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '', 'user');
