Smudly Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'm planning to create a voting page, where users can vote on different ideas or suggestions. I think for my situation it will be best to use a Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down type voting system. Can anyone explain how these work? Do they use division, average, etc? Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/208240-logic-behind-a-thumbs-updown-voting-system/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks They probably have a column for both up and down votes in each item's db row. To order them, like, say Stackoverflow, it's simply a matter of ordering by the difference between each row's up and down votes.
