Help needed to make text box and poll script

ainieas

1. Please I need help to make this page work.

http://thatdamnboy.frih.net/skins/1.htm

Its a page with a simple text box. What I need is that everything that is submited in the text box o be published on the page. I have no idea how to go about it. Also I'd like to include the name and e-mail of the person making a submission. Please help!!!

2. Another help that I want is to make a poll. Like four/five options and people vote and the % of votes cast appear against the names and it gets published on the page.
Or people vote for whatever option they want (there's no limit) and only I can see the % of votes for each option.

php with a database, on both accounts. The first one is simple, merely put the information from the form into the database, and to see all of them you simply select everything from the database. The second one is the same kind of deal, but instead of pulling everything, you get the total amount of each thing and figure out the percentages.

Go there... learn PHP and mySQL...

PHP is to generate all the code, and SQL is the database...

you see after you have someone submit like a joke or a poll, you make it go into the database, then the page is made from info from the database...

You'll need to learn php and mySQL...

Frihost supports both of these...

GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN Cool
