i dont get it i downloaded a file from hotscripts.com and when i unzipped it i donno what to do. it says to upload all files to webpage thing and i did but is there a code im suppose to put and stuff? i downloaded a poll script but i have no idea what i need to do. can someone help?

There should be a readme.txt file or webpage for you to look at for the instructions. Generally for a poll script after you upload all the files you may or may not have to chmod the file. The you insert the php code into the page you want the code to go to. But like I said, there should be a readme file or install file. If nothing else, the instructions should be in the main php code page.

i downloaded the sme poll off hotscripts.com and i still dont know how to make it work. can someone help me it says to do this. i uploaded the files but it didnt even show up on my host. does hostultra support this thing? can someone please help? THX!!!

1) Installation
- in admin.php in line 4 change the password default password are 12345
- Extract all files and change the Admin password in "admin.php"
- Upload all files to your webserver
- Apply CHMOD 666 to the IP, CONFIG and DATA file (normally "ip.txt", "config.php" and "data.txt")

2) Configuration

- Go to admin.php, log in and modify everything to your needs
- If you change the DATA and IP file be sure to create a blank file (with the new name) and CHMOD it to 666

If we're talking about the same ultrahost then php should work in there.

Well every first before you do anything, edit admin.php with Notepad on your computer and change its password.

With that done, upload the files to your host. (FTP preferred because you can CHMOD files easily on there.) You can also CHMOD files using file managers that come with your host if it supports it, but IMO FTP's still better.

Once you're done with CHMOD, open up the admin.php you uploaded to your domain. (something like http://www.yourdomainname.com/foldertofile/admin.php)
Enter the password you set and you can setup the poll from there.

ok i did that and i uploaded all the files and when i go view the vote thing the vote shows up but where do i get the code?

The code is problably the index.php

you should open it in notepad and copy it to your site (don't forget to save your site as a .php file since your using php now)

and i think the admin.php should be in the same dir (as all other files that came with your poll)

i get it now i had to view the vote.php file not edit it lol. silly me


thanks to everyone who helped!
