If you create these things in this steps, you are on a good way:

1. A <form> in html sending the actual info to page X (can be the same page). Most likely only html knowledge behind this.

2. The page X, using $_POST (there is a sticky in these forums on this topic) to actually retrieve the information from the user.

3. Choose:
a) Plain textfile based solution, holding the results (easy, doesn't require a database).
b) Database solution, holding the solution (recommended, but more learning).

4. $_COOKIE's (info in the same thread I meantion above) to disable the user to vote twice in the same poll.

Hope it helped some.
