polls

i need a special script

[WhosAWhata]

I am looking for a script very similar to that of this earlier post
[webmasterworld.com ]
it would be similar in that it would be totally text based, as in using text links to vote, and displaying the results in text... like this
poll script:
<a href=poll.php?vote=1>1</a>
<a href=poll.php?vote=2>2</a>
<a href=poll.php?vote=3>3</a>

results: 
1. ]]]]]]]]]] 50% 
2. ]]]]]]  30% 
3. ]]]]  20% 

it has 2 limitations that i can see...my host doesn't allow SQL databases...so it needs to be flat file, and it cant use a <table> tag...not sure exactly why...

anyways i was just wondering if any of you have seen a script like this or one that would be easy to modify to be like this. THANKS

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.

that script is great, except i can't figure out how to modify it for text links.
normally i would take the action part of the form tag, and add that in the links with a?result=...or someting, but this poll's action is $this->form_forward

HELP

i decided to make my own script but i'm having a little trouble displaying the results...could someone pile through this snippit and tell me what i'm doing wrong?

//count number of every vote
$vdir = "$userdir/votes";
$dh = opendir($vdir);
$vttl = 0;
while (false!== ($filename = readdir($dh))) {
$files[] = $filename;
if (($filename!= ".") AND ($filename!= "..")){
$vttl++; //total number of votes
include("$vdir/$filename");
for($i=1;$i<5;$i++) {
$qn = "nv$i";
$qn = stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($$qn));
if ($v == $i) { $qn++; }
} } }
for($i=1;$i<5;$i++) {
$qn = "nv$i";
$qn = stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($$qn));
$asdf = "ab$i";
$asdf = stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($$asdf));
$asdf = $qn/$vttl;
$asdf = $asdf*20;
// display results
$pb = "pa$i";
$pb = stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($$pb));
echo "<br>$pb ";
$asdf = stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($$asdf));
$asdf = $asdf-1;
for($l=1;$l<$asdf;$l++) {
echo "]";
} }

i know (or at least am pretty sure) this is a result of mathematical errors...but i just can't figure out exactly what's wrong with it
