Simple PHP & MySQL Poll

By Angela Bradley, About.com Guide

This tutorial will demonstrate how to make a basic poll using PHP, and store the results in MySQL. We will then display the results by making a pie chart with the GD Library.

The first thing we must do is create a database. Our example our poll will have three options, however you can modify this to fit your needs.

CREATE TABLE votes (first INTEGER, sec INTEGER, third INTEGER); 
 INSERT INTO votes (first, second, third) VALUES (0,0,0)
