Advanced Poll Cookie Troubles

Anonymous — GMT

Hey everybody. I finally got my poll working (with the great help from this forum) but now I'm having trouble with the cookies. For some reason, the voters can vore as many times as they want. I'm not sure what to do from here.

I've got the php include right above the tag in my poll.php file. The path is correct to poll_cookie.php but it's still not doing anything.

Could someone drop a suggestion or two? Thanks alot. Also, what is the permission for poll_cookie.php?

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Check me out if that will help - http://www.smellkid.com

Have you checked \db\poll_cookie.php?

Mine works. But how do I install the correct duration?

global $HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_POST_VARS;
$cookie_expire = 168; // hours

This seems to be clear. I have set it to 1 Week = 168 hours.

At the end of the file is this:
$cookie_name = "AdvancedPoll".$poll_ident;
if (!isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$cookie_name])) {
$endtime = time()+3600*$cookie_expire;

What is the above line for? What does the 3600 mean? hours? minutes?
Do I have to change it if I want a duration of 1 week?

setcookie($cookie_name, "1", $endtime);
}

3600 seconds = one hour
