Need help with a voting script
Posted: Thu Apr 17, 2008 12:34 am
Hello,
Well, I'm completely new to programming, though I have a few years experience in html and graphic design, and I've tried reading some tutorials about php, mysql, etc so I can make a voting script for a site. I haven't had any luck though, so I was wondering if someone here can help me write it and set it up. The thing is, the website it will be for is currently entirely static content (just an html website with some reviews on it, all normal text), so I haven't set up any databases for it or anything. All I need the script to do is display the text "Do you agree with this review? |_| Yes" and the number of votes on each review page, then display the top five agreed with reviews on the main page numbered 1 - 5 and showing band name - album name and linked to the page the review is on. I've tried to do it and read tutorials but I just can't seem to get it to work. Anyway, I was wondering if someone would be willing to help me with this seemingly simple script, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any help!
PS, this is an example of what I want on the review page, the voting box toward the bottom of the page: http://www.reviewstream.com/reviews/?p=33807
