Php Poll Help

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 14.2008

On my website: [url]http://www.chamillionairechat.com[/url] I have added a Poll on the left hand side on the page in the menu bar.

Could someone please help me make it, so when you click on an option, it automatically counts your vote and refrehes the poll, so it shows the results of the poll.

So in other words, you don’t need to press vote, it will automatically count the vote for you when you click a option.

Thanksm I will really appreciate your help ?

[code=html]<script type='text/javascript'>
/* <![CDATA[ */
window.onload = function(){
var w = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for(var i = 0; i < w.length; i++){
if(w[i].type == 'radio'){
if(window.addEventListener)
w[i].addEventListener('click', function(){document.forms[0].submit();}, false);
else if(window.attachEvent)
w[i].attachEvent('onclick', function(){document.forms[0].submit();});
else
w[i].onclick = function(){document.forms[0].submit();};
};
};
};
/* ]]> */
</script>[/code]untested.

I don't understand you ?

Please explain a bit more

And here is my vote.php

&lt;?php

$self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

// get the poll data
$dat_file = 'poll.dat';
$poll_data = unserialize(file_get_contents($dat_file));

// define question, options, and votes
$question = $poll_data['question'];
$options = $poll_data['options'];
$votes = $poll_data['votes'];

// count the number of options and votes
$total_options = count($options);
$total_votes = array_sum($votes);

// if the vote form has not been submitted
if(!isset($_POST['vote'])) {
?&gt;
&lt;form action="&lt;?php echo $self; ?&gt;" method="post"&gt;
&lt;?php

echo('&lt;b&gt;');
echo $question."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;n";
echo('&lt;/b&gt;');

for($x=0; $x&lt;$total_options; $x++) {
echo '&lt;input type="radio" name="option" value="'.$x.'"';
if($x == 0) echo ' checked';
echo ' /&gt; '.$options[$x]."&lt;br /&gt;n";
}

?&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;input type="submit" name="vote" value="Vote" /&gt;
&lt;input type="submit" name="vote" value="View" /&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
&lt;?php
} else {
// if the vote form has been submitted

<i> </i>if($_POST['vote'] == 'Vote') {
<i> </i> // if the user clicked 'Vote'
<i> </i> $poll_data['votes'][$_POST['option']]++;
<i> </i> $handle = fopen($dat_file,'w');
<i> </i> fwrite($handle,serialize($poll_data));
<i> </i> fclose($handle);
<i> </i> require('results.php');
<i> </i>} else {
<i> </i> // else, the user clicked 'View'
<i> </i> require('results.php');
<i> </i>}
}
?&gt;

@scragarFeb 14.2008 — I can't explain it any better, just remove the "checked" atribute from the first option and add that javascript.
