In the last few days I have many requests from my blog followers to create free PHP tutorial on this subject: (how to create poll or vote system?)

So I decided to make this tutorial, not just that, but also offer this PHP script for free, so let's talk about it.

Updated : the next part of creating voting system published

Vote script features

 

1- System identifies voter IP address, so the voter can vote one time for every vote.

2-System is dynamically giving you the freedom to specific your poll choices, you can make it three, four, and five...or ten choices it is upon your needs.

3-System use jQuery in the backend to increase or decrease poll fields, also use jQuery Ajax requests in the frontend to post votes and see results.

4- System builds with progress html5 tag and bootstrap so easily integrated with your site.

5- Code built with Code igniter 3 latest version and MySQL, well-structured, readable and easy to follow.

6- System does not accept editing if have any votes

5- It is a free open source you can use it as you want.

 

Installation:

 

1- First download poll script from our repo

3- Create new database named as ‘demo’ and it imports our tables for into it

4- Change Config.php and Database.php info to meet the created database name.
