Hello there :)

Is anybody familiar with the theories and coding to create a secure online voting? In which no one votes twice and has to log in and only votes if it has certain previledges?

I have do develop something like that, but I am a little ignorant on the subject... if anyone knows something about it, or knows where information is available to create something like that, please help me!!!

Any websites describing how it must be done, pdf's, etc... anything really :D

Thank you very much :) ;)

phpbb (the software we use for the forum) has voting capabilities within posts. Login is required, and only one vote per login. No built-in method of identifying 1 person = 1 login though. You could take a look at their code for it.

php? thanks. :D what is the "bb" part? And where can I learn more about this? Is the software available?

And how is it used? Don't I have to upload it to a server php compatible? ANd I don't need to build a forum do get php' voting capabilities, do I? Can I use that feature alone? I mean, in an web page?

And it is used along with html right? I mean, you just have the page, and if you want, in the page you insert the php code/feature, right?

I think I still need a lot of info on this one...
