Help with a Poll

[EnderX]

I was just curious if anyone here had made a poll not using a form of CMS or any other software. I have looked, and the only script I found was very buggy and would not transition easily.

I was just wondering if anyone here had any suggestions on how to set up a poll (PHP/SQL preferably). I can't really think of more detail. Let me know if you need more.

Is there a reason why you want a custom-made poll? (ie. special functionalities that aren't found in poll scripts out there?)

Not really.. I was just having a hard time finding the canned scripts out there. I tried using one, but like I said in my previous post, it was slightly "buggy". Any suggestions on ones that already exist?

You can probably find some good ones here:

and here (there might be repeats):

Thanks.. I'll check out the latter site and see what all kinds of stuff it has. I'll post another message letting you know which one I have decided to use, and any tips I can offer ;) Thanks again.

It would be real easy making a poll just have

MYSQL Table


Name|Value


Then in the form it would send the value over and then just test to see which one it was. When u find out then increment one of the MYSQL values and then redirect the user to the viewing area.

Then just open the database and take all the values and names out. And make a table out of them.

Simple...

Actually, this method isn't all that simple; it requires these steps to be performed everytime he wants a new poll.

I think he wants a web admin interface; being able to create polls through the browser and such.
