Star rating system?

[Fighterlegend]

Alright, I've been tackling this for a while now..

And I've run out of ideas :/

 

I want to add a 'save rating' function to this: http://fighterlegend.com/effects/star/st.html

 

But I just can't do it..

 

What I want to use the rating system for:

My forums and blog. So users can rate other users forums.

 

 

I came to you guys to help me!

you can send an AJAX request in the function that shows the text (IE the onClick function) that will send the value of the vote, and save it into a database

Hmm, I haven't gotten really used to PHP..

 

So I would send it via Ajax (or could I use Javascript to connect to a .php file that will then save it into a database) to a php file, which then writes to, I dunno, mySQL, or a .db file?

 

Could I have a bit of help with this?

 

 

I know, I sound like a noob at PHP, and that's because I am! I just done simple things in PHP (mostly following tutorials  ) like displaying a blog post from a blog, writing to an XML file, redirecting if the url is different (I host my friends website also), and some small connection scripts.

you could modify this script to show stars based on number. ie

1 = star

10 = star star

20 = star star star

well you send the score or rank via ajax, and store it into a database. something like

$score = $_GET['score'];

$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO score (rank) VALUES ($score)");

 

But i don't know you table structure so I can't be of much more help
