Place this
// Important! You have to include it before your html code
include_once "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/pollphp/textfile/poll_cookie.php";
?>
before your html code, and this:
include_once "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/pollphp/textfile/booth.php";
echo $php_poll->poll_process(4); // x = Poll ID
?>
where you want your poll to be
the number"4" it's the number of your poll ( might be 1, or 2 or whatver)

Maybe the problem is that i am using Dreamweaver to edit/add following
php code to the html file, that's why i cant show the poll..
pls advice any others way to do that ?

include_once "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/html_public/textfile/booth.php";
echo $php_poll->poll_process(x);

HTML Include --- Can't get it to work

Anonymous — GMT

I have been reading everythign I can find to make this work and I have edited the code over and over.. but still it doensn't work in an html file. I can make it work if code is inserted into a php file. works like a champ then, but not with html.

Here's my code... Please advise, and it would be appreciated...
The only output I get on the screen is "poll_process(4); ?> "
I do have 4 as a survey. Thanks in advance.

// Important! You have to include it before your html code
include_once "/home/notarywe/public_html/poll/poll_cookie.php";
?>

include_once "/home/notarywe/public_html/poll/booth.php";
echo $php_poll->poll_process(4);
?>

still not working!

I can make it work with having everything in an php file, or .shtml file, but not just a .htm file.. as others have stated their index.htm/html

It's frustrating since it's a great little program, but a pain in the rump to get going.. installation is easy, but to get it inserted into our code on exsisitng sites is a real chore. I hope that someone has an answer, I would love to see a url, with a .htm file that loads this and possibly the source behind it.

Any takers?

I went to this users site, and they have the exact same issue.. and the same response of their file.. showing only.. the php code, and no survey!

rename your main site eg. index.html --> index.php
index.htm --> index.php

change the file type into php. that worked for me.

.htm to .php

Yeah, I knew I could make it work with a php file, but really want to keep it an htm.. I wonder if it's even possible to have it work with an html/htm file.. or if it has to be a php file.

show vote again

Anonymous — GMT

How can I set people to vote again(means not only 1 vote only)

entoone — GMT

turn off the monitoring I believe.. since it watches to see if someone has voted, and the timeframe etc.

ermm....kinda a stupid question rly, everything between are PHP codes, so they require a .php file extention, and most of all, a server that supports PHP files...

answer to your question is no, because it is impossible to have PHP coding in an HTML file. i do wonder why you even had to "wonder" that...

entoone — GMT

excuse me, it's not a stupid question.. since some sites (most I know) either use default.htm, index.htm etc for their opening (default) page.
Thus, it would be smart to put the poll on the first page a user comes to,
thus I would not consider it a stupid question. Since some people might actually want to make it work with their sites. Again, got a solution for this? Nope.. then.. err.. ???

Also, I do have other php applications that run from htm files and are inserted code into htm files, so it can work if coded properly.

So, really not a stupid question, infact as I'm sure many have h eard, there are no supid questions.... Only some stupid answers.

No need to get so defensive.

You do realise that an index.php or default.php would work in exactly the same way? My site's opening page is index.php and my poll is on the index page. Webdesign does not begin and end with html.

I don't see how that could be true. Are you sure it's not perl or cgi scripts?

No defensive.. just making note of your start of your message..

"ermm....kinda a stupid question rly, everything " that is not a good way to start off.. indicating that others aren't with the program.

Never the less, I understand fully the differences, I'm saying CAN IT WORK? being inserted into an htm file? that's what I'm trying to find out, I have tried several methods and none work.

The author doesn't support this application, so I'm not going pay the 15 bucks.. I have over 300 customers and look for various methods to provide new things, surverys and such to my clients, but have to know they will want to work with their htm and things along those lines.

Lol that wasn't my post, I merely agreed. Anyhow, there is no way a php code can work in a .html or .htm file. The various extentions are there for a reason. However php files are no different to html files so I don't see the problem of using them. You only have to rename them.
If you are not willing to pay for php hosting then you should look for a free provider.

Advanced Poll

Anonymous — GMT

I'm new to PHP myself and agree that there are no stupid questions. And I think some of these answers are a little rude to newbies like myself. I am used to Perl but just learning PHP.

I had the same problem as others here. I also use Dreamweaver and am using htm as an extension.

Can I change ONLY the pages that I am putting the poll on to php and leave the index as htm? I don't see why not. I will try it but thought I'd run it by the pros here.

Anyone?

.php vs .html

xenzap — GMT

Yes, you need to rename the page where you place the php code to .php, but you don't have to rename all the .html files, just the one where you put the poll.

If you are being hosted, and you want to put the poll on the first page, ask your server admin to put index.php AND index.html into your default document settings.

There are no stupid questions, I agree!

Poll

Anonymous — GMT

Dreamweaver does not show the poll when you view the browser from your desktop. The file has to be saved as .php (unlike with Perl/CGI scripts) and uploaded to your server in order to view the poll.

The code for each poll can be found here:

- Poll List
- Click the Text icon under Stats for the poll that you want to use

Copy and paste the code for the poll into your HTML code. The top part (.

The part after is the actual poll code and is inserted wherever you want the poll to appear on the page.

Hope this helps.

Hey guys here's a question for ya....

If HTML works in a file with the extension .HTML or .HTM

then....

PHP will work in a file with the extension .PHP ???

and...

You've got PHP code in a file with the extentsion .HTML or .HTM then it won't work!!! You need to change it to .PHP for it to work. Another major factor is that PHP won't just work in your browser like HTML. HTML is parsed by the browser, and PHP code is parsed and executed by a separate script interpreter engine thingy and then the results are sent to the browser. Try this great place :: http://www.php.net/

The principle here is that the PHP code is embedded in the HTML code. This means all you have to do is change the files extension to .PHP and add the relevant bits of PHP code inbetween these tags The rest of the file can be just normal HTML.
