This is where I post problems and questions while I work on my Language/Travel website.

Link coming soon =)

Ah I did wonder but wasnt totally sure. Thanks Garin.

I'd assume the paths it wants are relative to the file system and not the domain so you'd want something like...

$logdir='/home/<your username>/public_html/poll/logs/'

This might take awhile, it's more complicated than the other scripts. I can never figure out where all the files are suppose to go =/

EDIT:

How to Install:
1. Setting the variables.
- Open the script (pollnow.cgi) and change the following variables.

- The path to the directory containing the log and IP log files.
$logdir='/home/mydirectory/logs/';

Do you know what path I should put? I think I went with

$logdir='/poll/logs/';

with the poll folder in the cgi-bin folder. Hmm perhaps I needed to change the folder permissions or I did put the paths incorrectly.

Hmm that poll seems to do everything I want. =O Great find. Althought it does say not for commercial use =(

Oh well I'll just click on one of his ads and we'll call it even.

Came across this earlier too whilst trying to find some Perl syntax.

Poll Script

Oh I see, yes I think the list will have atleast 30+. It seems to be working, it even changed to 1 now. Thank you very much =)

I changed my mind, change it this instead.

@keys= keys %Rotation;
$count=@keys;
$select = $keys[($IsDST % $count)];

Using the Month day only makes sense if you have a few entries, using day of the year is better.

Thank you Garin, seems to be working. Cheers. =)

Change this...
# pick one at random
@keys= keys %Rotation;
$select = $keys[rand @keys];

to...

@keys= keys %Rotation;
$count=@keys;
$select = $keys[($Month_Day % $count)];

It'll only change daily now. Its not a random pick though, it uses the month day to rotate through the array of selections but I suppose its good enough for your purposes.

And dont pout. ;)

:S sorry... umm thanks for all the help you gave me Garin, really appreciate it. Hopefully I'll be okay from now on :)
