depends on how you want to construct the polls as to how you'll need to set it up... you could either set up a new table(s) to handle the votes, or you could simply add two extra fields to the table that holds the details of each of the people - one to count the number of votes, and one to count the actual score. then do a simple division..... One question though- are you setting up another "amihotornot.com"- sounds like it to me.

If not a "amihotornot.com" then a maybe a http://www.facethejury.com/ . If I was you I wouldn't bother with that concept. Everybody has been there and done that. **Remember there are millions of people who can program, It's the new fresh ideas that sell.
