[PHP] Form refresh problem

2001-01-20 Thread Lucas Young

Hi Guys

I'm having a bit of a problem with form submission. I'm creating an opinion
poll, and the user's vote is submitted as a form back to the originating
page. I'm using !isset to see if the form has been submitted and if so,
updating the database and showing the current results
My problem is that a user, having voted once, can keel clicking refresh in
their browser and the form data keeps getting sent, incrementing the poll
results each time
Is there a way to kill form data once it;s been posted, or is there a better
way of doing what I am trying to accomplish?

Many thanks

Lucas Young

[PHP] opinion polling code

2001-01-20 Thread Lucas Young

Hi

I'm looking for some free opinion polling code using PHP and MySQL. I've
checked a number of scripts and they haven't been up to scratch - I'm just
after a simple poll that allows a user to vote once (selecting yes or no)
and then for the remainder of their session they can only view the poll
results (i.e. not vote again). Tricks like hitting refresh to resubmit the
vote shouldnt work, and the results need to be shown as a bar graph - if
anyone knows of a good script, please let me know. I'm trying Sympoll but
it's not working properly and the guy's site is down (www.ralusp.net)

thanks in advance

Lucas Young

[PHP] my cookies arent working!

2001-01-20 Thread Lucas Young

Hi all

I think most of the problems I am having with PHP and sample code not
working seems to be because cookies arent being generated
I'm using php.ini in it's default config
Windows 2000 Pro IIS PHP 4.0.4pl1
PHP seems to be working fine otherwise... I did the installshield install
then unzipped the zip package over the top to get the extra modules...
How can I check that cookies are working and et up? I am seeing cookies in
c:\documents and settings\\cookies on both the web machine and my
workstation for normal www sites but not for any of my php sites...

thanks in advance

Luacs

I'm actually using code from the web - sympoll from www.ralusp.net and
authlib, both give me errors and neither seems to be writing cookies... I
note in PHP the session save path is /tmp, where should this folder live?

How have you done cookie activation ? One easy way is to
use session_start(); as it tries to set a cookie and fallsback to
urlmodifieng if not possible.

Hmmm, ok, so what else could I be missing that is stopping my cookies
working?

Where you think its best secure. Or no files at all and
sessions saved to database (with session_handlers).

But, what about cookies ? Session file layout has nothing to do
make cookies work or not.
