advanced poll ssi probs

Hi guys..I'm having probs with ssi on shtml pages; it displays and functions AOK, except I can't get the soddin thing to write to the text file - ie; to save a poll vote - hum. I believe that this is works ok by using the SQL instead, but do'nt have that option at the mo

neither can I use .php pages in my content publishing news site.

Any ideas?

Mucho thanks

If you can't use PHP then why use a PHP script?
