PHP - Help W/ Php Vote Couting Button

Hello,

I have built a blog in php but. On each article in the blog people are able to comment.

I would now like to build a system where people can vote on the comment up/down with Ajax.

In my comments database I have a table that looks like this:

id / article_id / user_id / dateposted / comment    / voteup / votedown

I would like it to look like this:


Any ideas how I can do this? Tutorials online?

Thanks a million

Hi, I run a top site which has incentives. Originally when a voter came and voted, the script in the background would run file() but I noticed that it sometimes lagged and caused the voter to wait a few secs before the page loads.

I was then told by a developer to use file_get_contents(), but I was getting the same results. It occasionally lagged, even on my own websites that are voting on it.

I decided to log the incentives now, and get a cron to check and process any incentives instead of the user lagging, but now it's starting to kill my server as you can see below

Code in process_incentives.php

//REWARD VOTERS
$get = mysql_query("SELECT id,url FROM incentives ORDER BY id DESC limit 50;");
while ($game = mysql_fetch_array($get)){

  file_get_contents("$game[url]");
  mysql_query("DELETE from incentives WHERE id='$game[id]'");

}

Hey. I just needed a little help with a voting system for articles I've put together in PHP. Essentially what happens is someone clicks the "Vote up" button which takes them to the "voteup.php" page.

This is the "voteup.php" page where it updates the database for that given article and increments the "votes" column by one. This works perfectly. But the problem is people can do this infinite times and give articles infinite votes.

I need it so that each IP address can only vote on each specific article once. Any ideas on how this could be done?

Voteup.php
Code: [Select]
<?php

include("connect.php");
$id2 = $_GET['id']; // Get the ID of the article that will be voted up

$con = mysql_connect("localhost","lconditn_admin","hello");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("lconditn_database", $con);

mysql_query("UPDATE base SET votes = votes+1 // Add one vote to the article
WHERE id2 = '$id2'");

mysql_close($con);
?>
Thanks a lot for any help with this.

Hi, I'm currently using a voting script, but have a problem with people voting more then once, and want to add a way to keep the voting unique and 1 per person via IP check can anybody assist me how to implement it in the following script please?

<?php

// the questions and the answers
$pool_question="Do you think I should keep Galaxy Universe open?";
$pool_option[1]="Yes";
$pool_option[2]="No";

// If counter files are not available,they will be created
// You may remove next lines after the first use of the script
        if (!file_exists("pool_5483543_1.txt")){
                // next two lines will not work if writing permissions are not available
                // you may create the files bellow manualy with "0" as their unique content
                file_put_contents ("pool_5483543_1.txt",0);
                file_put_contents ("pool_5483543_2.txt",0);
        }

// retrieve data saved in files
        $pool_responses[1]=file_get_contents("pool_5483543_1.txt");
        $pool_responses[2]=file_get_contents("pool_5483543_2.txt");


// if user votes, increase corresponding value
        if ($_POST["5483543"] and $_POST["5483543b"]==""){
                if ($_POST["5483543"]==1) {$pool_responses[1]++;file_put_contents("pool_5483543_1.txt",$pool_responses[1]);}
                if ($_POST["5483543"]==2) {$pool_responses[2]++;file_put_contents("pool_5483543_2.txt",$pool_responses[2]);}
        }

// get percentajes for each answer in the pool
        // get total number of answers
        $total_responses=$pool_responses[1]+$pool_responses[2];
        if ($total_responses==0){$total_responses=1;}  // to avoid errors at start
        // compute percentajes (with one decimal number)
        $pool_percentaje[1] = round((100*$pool_responses[1])/$total_responses,1);
        $pool_percentaje[2] = round((100*$pool_responses[2])/$total_responses,1);
                                                                
// print the form, which includes de answers and the percentajes
print "<center>\n";
print "<form method=post action=".$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"].">\n";
print "<b>".$pool_question."</b>\n";
print "<table cellpadding=4>\n<br>";
// answer 1
print "<tr>\n";
print "<td><input type=radio name=5483543 value=1>  ".$pool_option[1]."</td>\n";
print "<td bgcolor=DDDDFF>" .$pool_responses[1]." (".$pool_percentaje[1]."%)</td>\n";
print "</tr>\n";
// answer 2
print "<tr>\n";
print "<td><input type=radio name=5483543 value=2>  ".$pool_option[2]."</td>\n";
print "<td bgcolor=DDDDFF>" .$pool_responses[2]." (".$pool_percentaje[2]."%)</td>\n";
print "</tr>\n";
print "</table>\n";
// a simple control to avoid one user to vote several times
if ($_POST["5483543"]){
        print "<input type=hidden name=5483543b value=1>\n";
}
print "<input TYPE=submit value=Add my answer>\n";
print "</form>\n";
print "</center>\n";

?>

The reason why I ask for IP check is I wan't to use 

$_SERVER["HTTP_X_MXIT_USERID_R"];

in the place of the Ip since it give a unique name via the platform I want to implement it.

Basically above code will form few boxes with items(which are actually questions) in it. There is one box on the right side with heading "Question Bank". From the "Question Bank" we can drag the questions to other boxes but can't do the reverse(this is also working). Also we can sort the questions within the box or drag the questions from one box to another. Box heading are the categories and items are questions associated to that categories. What i need is : Event that updates the database when we drag the questions from "Question Bank" to any box on the left side. Please note Questions in the "Question Bank" are pre created coming from database. Event that updates the database when we sort the questions within the box. Event that updates the database when we drag the question from one box to another box. it should also do the sorting for that two boxes. Event that updates the database when we sort the boxes. Here is the JS Fiddle link jsfiddle.net/6o30rrzx Question Bank is comming on the bottom of the page instead of on the right side   any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated Thank you for reading this post.

If you look at this form: kmkwebdevelopment.com/formtest/upload.php you will see that when you click on the "add another upload box" button, instead of it adding another upload box, it is submitting the form for some reason. Can anyone see where the error lies?

Thanks

I am editing this page (attached) and I'm trying to create another button to an external link. I thought it would be as easy as copying and pasting the text to create a second button but that kills the entire page. Any suggestions on how I might do this? This link is internally but the second button I need to open an external URL in a new window.

The section of PHP:

<div class="clear"></div>
                <?php // Ask a question about this product ?>
                <?php if (VmConfig::get('ask_question', 0) == 1) {
                    $askquestion_url = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&task=askquestion&virtuemart_product_id=' . $this->product->virtuemart_product_id . '&virtuemart_category_id=' . $this->product->virtuemart_category_id . '&tmpl=component', FALSE);
                    ?>
                    <div class="clear"></div>
                    <div class="ask-a-question">
                        <a class="ask-a-question" href="<?php echo $askquestion_url ?>" rel="nofollow" ><i class="fas fa-envelope"></i><?php echo vmText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_ENQUIRY_LBL') ?></a>
                    </div>
                <?php } ?>
                
                <?php // Back To Category Button
                if ($this->product->virtuemart_category_id) {
                    $catURL =  JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id='.$this->product->virtuemart_category_id, FALSE);
                    $categoryName = vmText::_($this->product->category_name) ;
                } else {
                    $catURL =  JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart');
                    $categoryName = vmText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_SHOP_HOME');
                }
                ?>

        The PHP on the entire page where this snippet is located:

<?php

How can i add a facebook "like" button on every news on my website, my news are going by id, and how can i make that to work when click on like for that news?

hi again, having trouble getting the result from the drop down box to direct to another page

the if statement works when i don't try and do anything with it.

should the IF statement go on another page and the submit button POST the $result, i'm really not sure. any help would be great..

code so far

index.php

<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM `ride` ORDER BY name";  
$result = mysql_query($query);  

        echo"<select name='name'><option value=''>Select Ride</option>";
                while( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) 
                { 
                echo '<option>'.$row['name'].'</option>'; 
                }  
                        echo '</select>'; 
        mysql_free_result( $result ); 

//// do rest of form when done/////

echo "<form method=post name=f1 action='dd-check.php'>";
echo "<input type=submit value=Submit>";
echo "</form>";

?>


dd-check.php

<?php
$result =$_POST['WHAT GOES HERE?']; <-----------???? is this even needed?
echo  "Ride Choosen = $result";     <-----------???? how do i get the $result from index.php?

if ($result == "Swinging Ship") {
                 header('Location: Swing.php');
                } elseif ($result == "Roller Coaster") {
                 header('Location: Roller.php');
                } elseif ($result == "Ice Blast") {
                 header('Location: Ice.php');
                } else {
        echo "choose a ride";
                }
?>

Hello. I decided to create my own browser game and started learning PHP and HTML. Everything is going quite well now I'm creating a primitive version of the game. I'm reading tutorials and moving forward fast. But I started thinking about the combat system and got stuck. I want to let my users to choose which monster to attack with buttons. I made this form as an example:

<p>Choose which monster you want to hunt:</p>
    Rat<br />
        <form action='main.php?p=hunt' method='post'>      
            <input type='submit' name='rat' value='Attack' /><br /><br />
    Slime<br />
        <form action='main.php?p=hunt' method='post'>           
            <input type='submit' name='slime' value='Attack' />
      </form>

And I'd like to know what code should I use to know which submit button was pressed, the rat or slime one. I currently only know how to do a lot of IF's to determine it so is there a short way to do it? If anyone can, please help me, and if you can try to explain it simply as I'm still starting to understand php  . And also I'd like some suggestions where to run my combat script (the same page where the form is or it should be on a different page, if the page should use id from a rand() function and so on).

Thanks

i have two drop down lists in a form and some text fields and then the SUBMIT and RESET button...when i click my first dropdown the values are populated in the second dropdown by ajax call. the problem i face is when i click on the reset button the values in the textfields and my first dropdown get reset to default value.but the value in the second drop down does not reset to the default value i have given instead it still has the value of the ajax call....any ideas to sort it out?
