I don't do code, and know next to nothing except simple cut and paste scripts. Reeeeeally simple. But when I end up trying to find someone to write it for me, it would really help to know what I will need.

What I want it to do, is accept web votes on 5 subjects, rating them 1-5 in three categories, and update current results. I would also like it to show the votes from 3 judges. Then, on top of that I want it to be simple enough for me to cut and paste on a weekly basis. What kind of scripting would do this?

I looked at some of the online Poll sites, but wasn't able to make them fit my needs. Thanks.

Thanks for all the suggestions. It is underwhelming.

PHP's probably the best option (in my opinion). You could output the results either to a MySQL database, or just a text file to make it simple.

Do you mean you want to be able to re-use the script, so you can do more than one poll? Doing a single script wouldn't be difficult, but making one that you could easily re-use would be harder.

Anybody who knows PHP reasonably well should be able to do this for you though.

In order to record the results, it would have to be some kind of server-side script such as PHP. I'm not aware of any open-source / free scripts available with the amount of functionality you require.

Cheers & good luck!

if you want a quick and easy ... have a look at http://www.webpollpro.com but don't buy it there .. search on ebay or send me a PM if your interested ...

Hey- Some responses! Thanks guys! Here is what I want exactly. Each week, I plan on having 5 people competing against each other. They will be awarded 1-5 points in three categories. That is the easy part. I would also like it to display how the three judges voted for them, as well as realtime votes from viewers. Then next week, I would like to cut and paste the form into a new weekly competition, and just change the user name. Is this even possible with the several voting displays?

Again thanks. I'm running out of time, and would like to have everything in place for a debut in April.

StarLord, have you tried that software?

lots of free one's out there look on google

That's the problem, there's too many free ones, and lots more that cost, but I just haven't found one I can achieve the desired result with. That's why I'm asking about which code will do it, and is easy to modify and reuse. Just because I can't do it, doesn't mean it can't be done by somebody else. And probably quicker and cheaper than I can do it myself

Jacklazara, thanks, but I don't think it will work for me.

Ichigo- No forum on my site... yet.

I want something like this... only one that works
