polls

can anyone tell me how i can get a poll thing for a site? (such as the 1 included in simple squad site?)

Go to hotscripts.com and search for poll.

oki, also is there anyway of connecting ALL seperate files to 1 database AND create an admin panel for each all in 1? such as using the map database, polls, news .. ?

I think you have to rewrite all the scripts to 1 . And as far as i know its not a problem to let more scripts use the same DB aslong as they use different prefixes

you can do it like that or you can use the same prefixes by using if's


such as

PHP Code:

if(action=="view"){
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM db");
}else if(action=="insert"){
$result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO db VAULES("","","")");
}else{
echo"NO QUERY SELECTED!";
} 


but that'd mean ur url would have to be like:
http://you.you.page.php?action=view

speaking of databases.. would this work?

PHP Code:

<?
$localhost="localhost";
$db_user="username";
$db_pass="pass";
$db_name="name";
?>

<?
mysql_connect("$localhost,$db_user,$db_pass");
    mysql_select_db("$db_name)"; 
?>

or is it just change localhost to the database name ?

keep localhost as the same

PHP Code:

$db_user="username"; 
$db_pass="pass"; 
$db_name="name"; 


just change these
