Again for those interested: I changed some of the code: I added a file
public/phpESP.first.php that needs to be included in all php survey
pages you show on the web using handler.php.
The reason for this: phpESP now uses a cookie to prevent double postings
(if wanted/configured), and using handler.php within a page prevented
the cookie from being set correctly (because headers already sent to the
browser). I worked around this with ob_start() first, but that was an
ugly solution, so now I created phpESP.first.php, that does this, but it
needs to be included at the top of every php page you use to show surveys.

As usual: see http://www.e-dynamics.be/index.php?section=programs&lang=en

Enjoy!

I'm using Franky's patched version 1.8.2d and using the cookie feature 
to block repeat voting...

However, in virtually all of the polls I am using I like to have the 
results public, and right now I'm at a loss on doing that, as with this 
version in place, once one has voted you cannot view the results if the 
cookie is still valid - It indicates you've completed the survey already!

I tried working around this with a 2nd config. (ini file) and patched 
files that seemed to be affected, however that doesn't do any better.

The result is the same if I call with $results=1 in the PHP handler, or 
if I use the modified survey.php uncommenting the $results setting.

Suggestions?
