You know...
With Zope there is a Poll product, one of many different products they have.
All you do is set up the questions and answers, and it does everything.
I never did make it to the Zope presentation, though I have talked with Jiva
at least a little bit; those who weren't sold on Zope then should really
consider it when it comes to website application design; IMHO zope can't be
beat.
My $.02,
Lucas Vogel

Doh... I found your attachment... I restarted mail client and there it
was (I'll blame it on windows... yeah... that's it.).
The problem is this:
#total votes
$total== $opt_a + $opt_b + $opt_c;
You're using the == operator which compares the values. I think you want
to use = to assign the value.
