Well, you can start off by going through my old Introduction to MySQL in PHP tutorial.

Do you have a specific question?

i did read the tutorial on connecting to sever but how do you acctually create the poll with the buttons stuff?

You're going to want to read up on (X)HTML before you even attempt something like this. It's fairly simple, just check out the tutorials here. Afterwards you will understand how to place buttons (those are in something called forms) and everything else you need on the user side of things.

A good knowledge of SQL couldn't hurt either. Again, here has plenty of excellent tutorials and examples.

If you just want to have a poll but not do any work, there are plenty of pre-made scripts out there on the web for you to use.

Other than that I'm not sure how much more help I can be. You will have to know (X)HTML, (My)SQL, and PHP for sure before you even attempt this.
