Advance poll

When I've added the following text to my page? then what?
It just displays the script text.
Not the poll. Or should i save the index file in php????

Thanks

<?php
/* Include this before your html code */
include "./poll_cookie.php";
?>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php

/* path */
$poll_path = "/home/joshi/public_html/db";

require $poll_path."/include/config.inc.php";
require $poll_path."/include/$POLLDB[class]";
require $poll_path."/include/class_poll.php";
$CLASS["db"] = new polldb_sql;
$CLASS["db"]->connect();

$php_poll = new poll();

/* the first poll */
echo $php_poll->poll_process(1);

/* the second poll */
$php_poll->set_template_set("simple");
$php_poll->set_max_bar_length(80);
echo $php_poll->poll_process(2);

/* the third poll */
$php_poll->set_template_set("popup");
if ($php_poll->is_valid_poll_id(3)) {
echo $php_poll->display_poll(3);
}

?>

Same issue here

You do need to change the extension from .html to .php if you are using php in the page.

Mine doesn't work either. I've enabled PHP. Two questions:

1. In

<?php
/* Include this before your html code */
include "./poll_cookie.php";
?>

do you substitute the relative path to poll_cookie.php for "./poll_cookie.php"?

2. The script text seems to be set up for the db version. What do you use for the textfile version? I've looked and can't find anything in the files I downloaded.

Thanks!

1. use the full path
You can get it from the admin

2. It doesn't matter what you use
textfile and db use the same config

Thanks for the response!

It's still not working. I put:

<?php
include "/www/hm/j/jkalb/poll/poll_cookie.php";
?>

in before all html coding, and stuck

<?php
/* path */
$poll_path = "/www/hm/j/jkalb/poll";
require $poll_path."/include/config.inc.php";
require $poll_path."/include/$POLLDB[class]";
require $poll_path."/include/class_poll.php";
$CLASS["db"] = new polldb_sql;
$CLASS["db"]->connect();
$php_poll = new poll();
/* the first poll */
echo $php_poll->poll_process(1);
/* the second poll */
$php_poll->set_template_set("simple");
$php_poll->set_max_bar_length(80);
echo $php_poll->poll_process(2);
/* the third poll */
$php_poll->set_template_set("popup");
if ($php_poll->is_valid_poll_id(3)) {
echo $php_poll->display_poll(3);
}
?>

in the body of the page that is to include the poll. The page has the *.php suffix. Then when I go to the page in my browser it stops loading at the point where the second code snippet appears.

Any ideas?

Got it working! Found the code to insert on the page in another post.

Don't understand though why the distribution doesn't include an explanation of what to put on the page to make the poll show up.

This script looks good but unfortunately there is absolutely no information on how to setup it up correctly on your page....

Can you share what you found out? Or post a link to it please?
