Rating Script

[bzprod]

Hello all,

I have been lurking here for quite a while and have soaked up tons of great information. I now have a question.

I am looking for a script that will allow me to let my users upload pictures and let users rate the pictures. These scripts have become a little popular recently. They can be seen on pages like rate my mullet.com, rate my kitten.com, rate my stang.com, etc.

Does anyone know the script that these people are using?

I have installed a script called phpRated, and I really like the way it works. The only problem with it is the urls are so long and non search engine friendly.

Any help or kicks in the right direction would be greatly appreciated as I am just learning these codes. Thanks!

hi patrick,

welcome to webmater world. do you think of writing a script on your own? if so, all you need is a database, a scripting language (like php [php.net] for example) and you should be able to handle file uploads.

if you write a script on your own, you can specify the links for url on your own and you can use apache's mod_rewrite to create searchengine friendly urls.

how about that?

Hello Hakre,

Thanks for the reply...I am extremely new to coding. I have been designing sites in html since 1995, and marketing them since 1997. I know that it is time for me to dive in and learn some coding to make my life a lot easier.

I sometimes think of html as the cassette tape of today...its still around, but cds, mp3, etc., can do so much more.

Do you think that this would be a good project to learn? I have been using php, perl, etc. for some time now...just not from scratch...

If anyone still knows of this script...please reply...thanks everyone!

hi bzprod,

here are some scripts/listings i found

• online photo rating system [google.de] (google cached page)
  
• PHP Scripts: Survey and Voting [phpcrazy.com] (listing on phpcrazy)
  
• the php resource index: complete scripts: survey and voting [php.resourceindex.com]
  

i think there is a lot to checkout ;). so you don't have to code yourself.

on the other hand, it's a nice task to start coding php for example. this could be your first mysql/php app.

Thanks for the links...I am already testing two of those. The image vote script might be exactly what I am looking for, too bad I have to shell out $125. I may attempt to make this my first project. Thanks for your help!

God Bless,

Patrick
