Using php to generate an image

[Tony]

Are you asking if I can write a script where I _don't_ keep track of your cookies? Yes. In fact, that's less work than having to keep track of your cookies.

Fail...so what do I do now?
Or should I just hope that noone will think of hacking it in such a way?

Why aren't you using the forum's login system as suggested, it will solve most of the issues (except people making multiple accounts to vote...).

A quick way would be to implement the login, force the user to login in order to vote and then when said user has voted, write their username to a file.

This way if they attempt to vote again, check to see if its in the file.

Or, simply make a "hasVoted" column in the user table and set it to 1 if they have voted.

Thanks for the help....I'll try to implement that.
