How do you make a poll?

[knimbus]

How can you make a poll in html or javascript that has X number of options which the user selects as a radio buttons and then a submit button which will increase the overall score for both of them, kinda like this:key: X = radio buttonFavourite colour:X greenX red submitand then the page reloads like this:green = 80% and 8 votesred = 20% and 2 votesany help is appreciated

That would require the scores to be remembered in some way, maybe as simple as a txt file, so you would be looking at a server side language not client side.

What I don't have this code just lying around you know.Learn how PHP Forms work: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.aspThen you would probably want to read the current values from the text file, add the current choice to that value then send that back to text file.If you search google for "Working With Text Files in PHP"http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/php/article.php/3472531

you could just add something like yes or no to a text file, and then when you need to see how many people have voted what, you just use the substr_count($file, 'yes'); LG

ok, err... I dont understand this... What do you mean about a textfile? Are you saying just create a form like that and it will work?

They are saying that you need to store the totals somewhere, such as a text file, or maybe a database. If you are keeping track of votes, you need to store the vote totals somewhere, right?

Not at all, that's just an example so that you can see what the process is, you will have to create a form with your choices, submit it to a php script which reads the values of the choices and finally update the textfile/database.
