When Refresh go 1 again

[gncreditcards]

I have this problem, Put the script on my page. in this script the people vote but When they return to the site the text of this form again at 1 and not recognized the vote. As I keep the voting when users refresh the page

<form name="HOME">
<input type="text" value="1" name="CASA">
<input onclick="document.HOME.CASA.value = Number(HOME.CASA.value)+1;" type="button" value="Vote"> </form>

I want that every user visiting the page can see how many times the button 'Vote' has been pressed by others.

thought about using php? Im not an expert at it but someone should be about on here who will easily know. Then you could add a ip log so that no-one can vote twice.

The first thing is javascript cannot save data without using cookies. Even then it is only for that user, noone else. So a user cannot see what another user is doing with javascript .

As jtyoungs said PHP would be a good route to go (or any server side language..ASP, Cold Fusion, etc.). You will need to save that data somewhere to be accessed later. A database, text file, or XML all would work fine. You can track users to make sure they only vote once but IP addresses can change and cookies can be deleted. As far as I know there is not a guaranteed way to make sure they don't vote twice.
