 | View Full Version : Voting Website -- How HARD Is This -- Programming Required? allexpert_20 12-23-2001, 05:23 PM I would like to make a site like http://www.votechicks.com I want to know what it uses. Does it use php mysql. How does it update in realtime like that. What program(s) would I need to learn at what languages? Thank you. delemtri 12-23-2001, 05:34 PM PHP/MySQL is fine. MCHost-Marc 12-23-2001, 06:11 PM Definately PHP and mySQL. I wrote one a long time ago but never got to use it on a real site. cperciva 12-23-2001, 06:21 PM Two points: 1. It doesn't update in real time. 2. MySQL is a bloody stupid thing to use for a task like this. mdrussell 12-23-2001, 06:23 PM Yeah, its a PHP / MySQL combo. Pretty easy to do a voting site - simply record the votes (yes / no etc.) in a MySQL database.... bobcares 12-24-2001, 06:41 AM Hi! PHP,perl, python, java, C are all fine for this. You could even try going to http://www.hotscripts.com and searching for such a script. There are many that are freely downloadable.. Have a great day :) regards amar |
