I have this poll code
<?php echo "Which is your favourite film?<br><form action='' method='post'>\n"; $query = mysql_query("SELECT movie, movieid, votes FROM moviepoll ORDER BY movieid"); while ($result = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) { echo "<input type='radio' name='box' id='box", $result["movieid"], "' value='", $result["movie"], "'>"; echo "<label for='box", $result["movieid"], "'>", $result["movie"], "</label> (currently has ", $result["votes"], " votes) <br>\n"; } echo "<input type='submit'>\n</form>"; $movie = $_POST["box"]; if(isset($movie)) { $expire = time() +30; if(isset($_COOKIE["voted"])) { echo "Sorry, you've voted already"; } else { $query = mysql_query("SELECT movie, movieid FROM moviepoll WHERE movie='$movie'"); $result = mysql_fetch_assoc($query); $id = $result["movieid"]; $name = $result["movie"]; $sql = "INSERT INTO moviepoll (movieid, movie) VALUES ($id, '$name') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE votes = votes + 1"; mysql_query($sql); if(time() > $expire) { setcookie("voted", $name, time()-30); } setcookie("voted", $name, $expire); } } ?>and am trying to use cookies to limit the user voting again for a while, but I can't seem to get the cookies worked out, can you help?
