Problem Poll with IE

Nexus — GMT

Hey, first of all, MAJOR THNX 4 the script,

but.. unfortunatly, IE doesn't let you see the stats of the votes at my site ( [u]not[/u] @ the admin page)

Firefox, and i believe any other browser, works flawless. problem is not everyone uses it

If it wouldn't be to much trouble.. could someone tell me what's wrong?

Strange thing is, if you click an option in my poll, it will be written to the database, but for some reason IE refuseses to show the stats.

Thnx in advance!

Alex.

Try changing line 10 in booth.php.
from:
[code]$PHP_SELF = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["PHP_SELF"];[/code]
to:
[code]$PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];[/code]

Hope it helps.

(make a backup copy before changing, just to be on the safe side.)

what do you mean by stats?

the results? or the stats for each poll containing who voted for what and how many?

Sixty4 — GMT

ok,.. I see that I also changed class_poll.php on line 43

Change it to:
[code] $this->form_forward = basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);[/code]

Hope it works now.
I had the same kind of problem with variables in my URL.

okay. The guy' talking about stats and your talking about URL variables and the like.
wth is going on here?!

Sixty4 — GMT

I had the same problem Nexus had, and it looked like it had to do with URL variables. So I changes some of the PHP_Self requests. And it worked for me.

That's going on

Auron I think what he means is that when you click [b]View Results[/b] or [b]Bekijk resultaten[/b] it takes you back to the same page and does not show the results. His problem actually has nothing to do with the poll script but with this bit of code[code][/code] that appears near the bottom of the results page.

Just like to add for Nexus's benefit that Winrar is better than winzip and I wouldn't say VLC was the best media player. It's a good player but there are better for both audio and video.

Auron — GMT

VLC is useful to play .avi files on Mac OS X.

If its not showing the results maybe the poll is set to something which I can't remember in the admin section. I know! If they've set an expiry date for a poll... i think...

Carbonize — GMT

no it shows the results but then gets to that bit of code that tells it to goto the page in the code and so quickly loads the mentioned page instead.

Nexus — GMT

THNX Sixty4 and all others !!!

IT WORKS :D

Now some comment i got :oops:

1) VLC - yes, I know it isn't the "best" player, but i had some problems with codecs and VLC just uses his own, so that's what i liked about it

Mplayer (NOT windows media player) is also fine, but for the most movies I use Power DVD

2) WinZip - Yep Winrar is better, I use it myself, Zip Sucks :) Don't know why I put it on my site, will change it "thnx for reminding me"

Anyway, Thnx sóó much for helping out, cya guys around!

[b][i]summary if someone has the same problem[/b][/i]

Problem: IE didn't show results with the poll version 2.03

[i]Possible solution: [/i]

[b]change line 10 in booth.php[/b]
from:
[code]
$PHP_SELF = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["PHP_SELF"];[/code]

to:
[code]
$PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];[/code]

and

[b]change in (include/) class_poll.php on line 43[/b]

Change it to:
[code]
$this->form_forward = basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);[/code]

That worked for me

Thnx to Sixty4.

Actually IE did show the results but then a piece of javascript took you away from them. I'd say it was [code]$this->form_forward = basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);[/code] that was responsible. Auron is the poll specialist whilst Advanced Guestbook is my specialist subject.

Nexus — GMT

I see, but unfortunatly, a slight problem accured again.. The View results works now, but if you go to another page you're back to the voting, also refresh .

I don't know if the problem is the script, or the way my site is builded.

I have my htm files inside a protected directory. A php scripts gets the files. problem is, the directory is protected, like my guestbook, the poll script is placed inside the index, which is not inside the protected directory, maybe I should grant more acces to my index? strange thing is, my site is running on apache so it shouldn't bother the script.

I asked some friends of mine, but they don't know either.. sorry to be this annoying, but I like the poll script and wouldn't want another.

Thnx for helping out

Auron — GMT

I still don't see why changing a line of PHP would stop ONLY IE from seeing the results.
So I reckon it was the JavaScript like Carbonize just said.

edit; wait. I have no idea. Something weird and odd was going on....

Nexus — GMT

So what do I have to replace and where?

I have no idea. If it works now it works.
Hopefully it won't do it again.
