View Full Version : Creating a poll in php

I am installing this script into my website to create a poll. http://www.dbscripts.net/poll/

For now I am running test pages so I can get the poll up and running properly before I post it on my live website.

Sometimes I get part of the poll working and then other parts do not work such as viewing the results.

In this installation there are two sets of folders and both contain similiar files. I thought that I really did not need to make changes to anything except the config.php page but there must be something simple that I am overlooking. Is anybody available to help me figure out what I need to fix?

Here are some of the errors I am getting:


Warning: main(/home/content/b/e/n/benedizione/html/../class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/b/e/n/benedizione/html/config.php on line 9

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/home/content/b/e/n/benedizione/html/../class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/content/b/e/n/benedizione/html/config.php on line 9


Here is line 9 of config.php:
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/class.php'); // For the Poll class definition


Warning: main(/test/): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/b/e/n/benedizione/html/testpage013.php on line 218

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/test/' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/content/b/e/n/benedizione/html/testpage013.php on line 218


Here is line 218 of testpage013:
<?php require_once('/test/');
show_vote_control('1'); ?>



The Line 218 script is supposed to be all I need to place on the page where I want the poll to be but it does not work at all.

Have been working on this script for 2 days and resolved part of my issues this afternoon on my own.

Here is what I need help with now.

http://www.propheciesofrevelation.org/postpage1.php

Error on this page is:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: show_vote_control() in /home/content/b/e/n/benedizione/html/postpage1.php on line 4

I do not understand why because the "poll id" is defined with a number "1" on my "postpage1" page.

And when clicking on "Current Results" you get this response:

Warning: main(/home/content/b/e/n/benedizione/html/pollpoll/class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/b/e/n/benedizione/html/poll/config.php on line 9

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/home/content/b/e/n/benedizione/html/pollpoll/class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/content/b/e/n/benedizione/html/poll/config.php on line 9

Here is config.php line 9:
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . 'poll/class.php'); // For the Poll class definition

What could be wrong?

I am still playing around with this same script and it all seems to be working properly except for an error message at the bottom of this page http://www.propheciesofrevelation.org/postpage1.php


>>Fatal error: Call to undefined function: show_vote_control() in /home/content/b/e/n/benedizione/html/postpage1.php on line 1<<


I do not understand how the poll appears to be working fine and yet there is this error message out of nowhere - how could it be interferring with the function of the poll?

Line 1 on postpage1.php is: <?php require_once('poll/pollform.php'); show_vote_control('1'); ?>

It is in fact the only coding on postpage1.php. Can anyone tell what is wrong?
