php toplist

What would be the best way to collect votes for my toplist ?

 

Im not so good with php, but gonna try anyway. I just want to collect votes and temporary restrict the IP from voting over again for a limited time. (like a day or so)

 

Should I have one record in the database for each vote ?

Using IPs is never a good way to determine unique users. Many users can be using the same public IP address (behind a router), so you would be blocking users because one other user made a vote. Conversely, if someone want to vote multiple times it can be pretty simple to get their IP changed.

 

The best method is if you have login to ensure the same user cannot vote twice.

sounds better, but Im afraid there wont be too much votes if you have to login or register. I dont really care if the same user votes over again, but I dont want them to sit there with the F5 key and gather 60 votes per min :)
