poll script

completely TEXT based poll script

[penguinpage]

I'm working on a project that requires a completely text-based poll script in PHP. The script would need to be similar to the polls on sites like (for AIM)...

Does anyone know where I could find a script like this? because I think if I wrote it, it would be really inefficient and full of bugs.

I appreciate everyones help in this group.
Thanks!

well to be honest I looked at that page and it didnt really give me any feel for what you were looking for.

Have you tried hotscripts.com?

ditto, jatar_k. I looked at it too but left clueless as to penguin's request. Are you referring to surveys, penguinpage?

that site gave me nothing of interest except a forced download of Gator!

Yeah, Gator tried that on me too, but I have my Cookie privacy set to Custom so that I have to approve every request when I initially get to a site. I denied and it stopped right there.

And I don't mean to get off topic here, but it's well that we warn others before they visit that url.

very sorry about all the problems, and that i wasn't clear, but yes i was referring to the polls/surveys section. I was mentioning it with the assumption that there would be previous knowledge of these (my main group of friends all do)

thanks, and sorry again for Gator and all that..
basically the poll itself is like this...
<!-- start example -->
<b>question</b><br>
<a href=poll.php?user=something&answer=1>answer 1</a>
<a href=poll.php?user=something&answer=2>answer 2</a>
<a href=poll.php?user=something&answer=3>answer 3</a>
<a href=poll.php?user=something&answer=4>answer 4</a>
<!-- end example -->

i want it just like all the poll/survey scripts you can find at hotscripts.com or resourceindex.com, except using only text links rather than pics or radio buttons.

I wouldnt include the variable $user=anumber into the script as the members login should be handled with cookies/phpsessions. You wouldn't want people spoofing another person's user_id just to get another vote.

this would acyually be running to a client similar to AIM's "buddy info" browser. this browser isn't very powerful and can only handle light HTML and PHP Server Side Scripts...so I'm not sure sessions would work, besides it's just a "for fun" poll

Great suggestion though

Check out Advanced Poll @ [proxy2.de...] I am sure you will get all what you are looking for and little bit more ;)

Hope this helps.
