PHP Form / Poll / Database

[WSA]

I am wondering how to create a form page on my site.

This form page should have various poll questions that will have a 1 2 3 4 5 type answer system.  1 being strongly disagree and 5 being strongly agree.

The poll should then update a database with the responses and be able to convert them into a pie chart of some sort for viewing.

The form should match the site itself but would be it's own page.

Does anybody know how to do something like this?

yes

[WSA]

yes

Do tell please.

  u didnt fall for it..i was hoping u would bite lol

its very simple really there is a free ready made script available for it

the demo and everything u need is on this page

Thanks.  I downloaded it but I have no clue what do with it after I extracted it.

[akulion]

once u unzip the package go to the upload folder and read inside the install.htm file

the installation instructions are pretty straight forward and easy to do

[WSA]

Ahah.  Thanks.

I perused this and found these items.

8. go to "new poll" from the admin area and create a new poll. Try to keep the max number of options to 4 at the time being, more than 4 can cause problems. We are correcting those problems and will update this

The poll has errors with php 4.3.11 and higher. It has never been tested with php 5+


I am going to have probably a 15 to 20 question poll and we are running.

I am running PHP 4.4.2

oh dont worry....go to hotscripts.com and go to their flash area and search for POLL

I saw another polling system there for free, maybe thats a better one

Thats a nice little script.. is it Flash?

[WSA]

I just went into my Fantastico and found these scripts also. 

Polls and Surveys
Advanced Poll
phpESP
PHPSurveyor

[akulion]

cool then u can use Fantastico to install them and test them out

yup crip thats flash based poll

found it via hotscripts 2 days ago, havent tested it myself yet though

Check out this one.  Click on Demo.  This one seems very cool and better than the other two on fantastico.

[akulion]

that sure looks comprehensive and complicated

[WSA]

I know.  I am setting one up right now.  The cool thing though is that it gives multiple options on questions and also provides that order of importance one.

It's a bit confusing though.

[akulion]

its more of a survey script than a poll script

but still cool

thanks for sharing

[akulion]

hey i found a really good one

for more advanced services u pay 25 bucks a year..so its cheap

but the free ones are cool too check it out http://www.neomyz.com

[WSA]

That one does look pretty neat.

I set up my survey using phpsurveyor and I think it's great

Take a peek at it.  I'm not completely finished with it yet and these won't  submit to anything either.

[Porky]

[akulion]

oh no i think i posted the reply to u in another post!! lol

i thought i had already replied-infact im sure i had!! but its missing..so i dunno where i posted it

nice survey

[WSA]

Thanks guys.  PHPSurveyor is pretty easy to figure out after a few minutes of fudging things up.

I can't believe how many options it allows you to use.  Very cool app IMHO.

It will also allow you to have multiple surveys saved, such as a fishing survey, a hunting survey, a favorite junk food survey, etc.

It also has a few different templates so it will look different.

I've never used PHPSurveyor, so the following may not work unless you edit all the appropriate links.

But rather than having that serparate survey page, why not do a php include in one of your artilces so it looks and feels integrated with your site?
