Polling System. (Pushing Question to Client devices)

Post by AGuyCalledLex »

Hi everybody. Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum with a quick hello before i started going on about my problems. : )

I've looked in the tutorials before i posted and couldn't find anything on the subject.

Here is my problem.

As a project Im trying to build a polling system using multiple mobile client devices where the poller submits a question with possible MC answers and all the client device screens are updated with the new question (just like who wants to be a millionaire).
Im new to PHP but not a complete stranger to programming so all i need is a point in the right direction so that i can go away.
I wanted multiple users to be able to participate in the same session and for any questions the poller entered into that session to be shared to all of the 'pollees' .

Is there a strategy better than the obvious writing all of new 'questions and answer choices' to the database then pulling them back.
Im just looking for the best strategy possible.

Thank you for your time and i hope you've understood the question posed.

PHP is server side only... so the answer is No :)
