Is there something wrong. Because this is my personal site and I am thinking to implement voting system in it.

Take a look at the following links and see if this is what you are looking for.

this seems to me complicated. I have done all calculation that I got result now in format like

cars 33.33%, truck 40.13%

I only want to draw these figure in bars using gd or css.

If you are using the script in the link posted above, did the images even show up? If you could, either post a link to where you have placed the script, or send to me via PM or YIM. Maybe there's something missing or whatnot.

1. There have been recent spam links in signatures soley for the purpose of promoting sites. I find any explicitly commercial site suspiscios. Nothing personal.

2. The link I gave you will tell you how to use a database. The math is easy... just average stuff. But you need to learn the basics before doing that.

3. As for creating graphs... I would suggest not doing it. If you MUST, then use PHP's GD library, but don't say I didn't warn you. It's complex and doesn't exactly work right all the time.
The other option is doing a simple graph, like a bar chart, for which you could use simple elements (divs) and just set the widths dynamically, or something like that.

Was that referring to my sig or imi_99's?

EDIT: Nevermind, didn't even look at imi's sig

Obviously not your sig, yours is your site link. Take a look at imi_99's link:
"free uk car listings"

If it IS his site and it IS in question for this, it's still just... awkward. This isn't a place to advertise for commercial stuff. But... if it's a legit question, I suppose... fine.

thanks for your replies. I guesed that easy way of doing bar is use css using div. GD seems to me hard and also i am not good in object oriented php.
