in reply to Getting %ENV without CGI?

Greetings,

Surely I do not need to point out that - if I understand correctly what you are I doing - you are basically allowing one single vote per proxy? (e.g AOL is allowed 20/30 votes under your schema).

If I were you, I would look into cookies...
Cheers,
alf

You can't have everything: where would you put it?

    I have experience of making a vote script myself, I log the IPs to stop people voting twice from the same IP, but like alien_life_form says, they can still vote... I have cookies as well, but they just disable them, or go through their cookie files and clear them out.

    What's a girl to do? It's not even as if the vote is a life or death thing... some people just cheat for the fun of it :(

      Hey, to get around cheating, there's always the totalitarian method of voting..only give them one option :D

        Even then they can skew the number of total votes..
