AJAX IP Poll

Hi

I was trying to add IP protection in an AJAX poll but i seem to have failed.

Have a look at http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/index.html?whichScript=ajax-poller

Can you please guide me (not write the code) on how I should go around doing the task?

Thank you

 

Your site doesn't seem to want to load, but here's a very basic idea anyway:

//- Make a table just to store IP Addresses, let's call it IPTable in this example
//- Create and write the following function:

Function AllowedToVote(){
	1) Get the IP Address of the visitor
	2) Check if the IP Address already exists in the IPTable
	---If yes: return False;
	---If not: do nothing and continue to step 3
	3) Add IP Address to the IPTable, and return True

//- Just call this function before the Vote will be processed and added to the database by the original script, i.e.:

if(!AllowedToVote()){
  //Exit, stop, call another function, display "you've already voted", etc..
}

}

Code (markup):

It's pretty basic but it should do the job.

 

are there any pre-made ones you know of that are in AJAX and also have IP control yet are free/opensource?
