Re: Requirments for vote-tally script (Ammendment)
No - you do not need to do the sql queries. It can work one of two ways:
1) All logic is in PHP, and you just call the php script via cmdschedule.
2) Test logic is on the backend, rest is in php. What this means, is your
script just does enough to find out if the vote was succesful or not. If
it's succesful yopu call the php script, if not - you do nothing but
remove the vote from the tables.
Whichever way you do it is fine. #2 would only require you to work with
the Vote table - nothing else. #1 is fine too. #2 just puts a little
less burden on me, but not much less :) - so whichever way you would
rather handle it, just let me know, so that I know whether to place the
test logic in the php page or not. There are no objects to make this
easier - so the code is gonna be about the same either way.
If you still have questions, mail me back or I'll be on IRC all day.
Later,
Jason
