PHP Poll/Vote script

[Rohan72]

For a sportsteam's website i'm looking for a free script in which the user can vote for the "player of the week" (up to 14 players) and has to give his/her e-mail address to complete the vote so we can draw a winner out of all votes.

Quit posting twice in a row, use correct markup codes, and quit having people email you for answers.

The point of the forum is to discuss the questions in a thread so that everyone can learn and benefit from each other.


EDIT: This was directed at yoshi, and he seems to have deleted the posts in question.

You've posted twice in several threads. That's why I said it.

The above code is a bit strange. Might work, but, for example, i have never heard of the <input type="email"> code. But... maybe...

I use it

i'm really looking for PHP so the users can see immediatly the "score" of the poll and i can put in some code so they don't vote twice

Well, seems like a database thing.

It's really not that complex if you know some PHP.

Here's a starter tutorial-- http://php-mysql-tutorial.com

See if that helps.

Generally, polls check the IP to be sure that people don't vote twice, but that can be faked by just using a new machine (or, if possible, a new IP).
You could do a login, but that's more complex.

Just have a form, have the php take the sent value of the radio buttons or select, etc. then add to a database as a 'vote' then, when displaying, do an average of all votes, and that's it.

Hope this helps.

and to put in there emaail do <input type="email" name="email">

<input type="email">

...is no different than

<input type="text">

and if anything, it is invalid.
