Overview
Our Advanced Poll and Voting System is a ready-to-use PHP software package that provides a complete polling interface for your website. It replaces manual database coding with a pre-built set of features for running surveys and gathering feedback. The script includes built-in security modules to prevent duplicate votes and ensure accurate vote counting.
The digital download includes the full source code to create polls with multiple choices, set specific start and end dates, and manage poll categories. The included admin panel UI gives you full administrative control to approve polls before publishing, as well as export and import data. The front-end templates feature a responsive design, ensuring your voting system functions perfectly on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.

FAQs
-
Why am I receiving a MySQL error?
Update the connection variables in the 'functions.php' file, and make sure you've uploaded the correct SQL file with phpMyAdmin. -
How do I download the ZIP file again if I've lost it?
You can download the package from the receipt email that was sent to you when you purchased the digital package. If you no longer have this email, you can request a new one here. Remember not to share your download links, as these are being monitored. -
How do I set up the script files?
Unzip the package, upload the files to your server, import the SQL file, and update the connection variables in the 'config.php' file. -
How can I prevent duplicate votes?
The codebase uses IP address and/or cookie duplication-checking to prevent multiple votes from the same user. You can configure this logic in the 'config.php' file. -
How can I prevent the user from viewing the results before voting?
You can enable the 'hide_results_until_voting' option in the 'config.php' file or via the admin settings page. -
How do I enable the approval feature?
You can enable the 'approval' option in the 'config.php' file or via the admin settings page. -
How do I add images to poll choices?
When creating a new poll, you upload an image for each choice. The script will automatically display the images on the poll page. However, for this to work, the 'images_enabled' option must be enabled in the config.php file. -
How do I export and import polls?
You can export and import polls via the admin panel. Simply go to the 'Polls' page and click on the 'Export' or 'Import' button.
