    Dear Wandrer,
    I saw the progrm is working now at SourceForce.  However, I can not find any clue how to install your wonderful program.  I will greatly appreciate if you show me how to do it.
    Best regard,

    ==========

    The easiest way to get the program up and running is to edit the config.inc.php3 file. Setting it with your database username/password and other configuration variables.

    Then, create the database using the information in database-structure.mysql.php3.

    Once you have a created database, you can use the add-picture.php3 file to add your pictures/descriptions to the database.

    Once your pictures are added, run the create-poll.php3 to create your poll with its options and associated picture ID numbers.

    That is it.

    Currently there is no admin interface. I should have one completed for Version 0.8 which should be out in a week or so.

      Dear wandrer,
      After installation, as you said, I uploaded couple pictures to the DB and
      it worked.  However, when I tried to create poll but I get the following
      error message:

      Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function strtotime() in
      /home/wphong/public_html/phptest/picture/create-poll.php3 on line 79

      Is this PHP version problem or something else?

      I appreciate your help.

      My test phpvote is at
      http://physics.cataegu.ac.kr/~wphong/phptest/picture/add-picture.php3

      Ciao.

      Woopyo Hong

        The system that I am using to develop and test this program is currently running PHP/4.0b2 . Sorry about the confusion. The strtotime() function, i believe, is only in PHP4.

        Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

        Paul

          Dear Paul!

          I am now using PHP3.0.15.
          I want to keep using it.
          Is there any way that I can install both PHP3.0.15 and PHP4.0 together so that
          Apache can go along with both versions ?

          Is the strotime() fuction absolutely necessary to build PHP vote program?
          In other word, can you make PHP vote work using PHP3.x version?

          I will appreciate your answer.

          Please keep up the good work!

          Woopyo

      I'm having trouble with the $poll_template_dir varriable.  Is this a direct host root... as in "/root/smokeyandthebandit/public_html/votehere"
      or "/votehere"  I've tried both and neither are working.  The SQL is set up right.

      I keep getting
      ERROR: Specified ROOT dir [/root/ezcheez/public_html/scripts/picvote/] is not a directory
      ERROR: Cannot open template. Root not valid.

      Keep in mind that I am and idiot... can you anyone help me here?

        Nevermind see like I said I'm an idiot.

        I got the thing working.  I don't think it was what I had in mind as far as a voting system.

        Thanks though.

      Hello gymeblake,

      I have the same problems with a non-specified ROOT directory. How did you solve this problem ?

      Thanks a lot !

        You know it was so long ago that I completely forgot what I did to solve the problem.  I don't even use the voting poll, as it wasn't suited to my needs.  Sorry I'm such a worthless bastard.

      So dear wandrer,

      may you help with my problem ?
      I have the same problems with a non-specified ROOT directory. How can I solve this problem ?
      The program says [/htdocs/ibs/picture/] specified ROOT dir ist not a directory.

      Thank you for your help.

      This is a great idea to have a public script like this available... but, do you think in the next version you could add a random function that will randomly choose a picture from a directory listing and then let people cycle through them, the same way as http://www.hotornot.com
