JayKay Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 So I have made an anonymous poll system but I would like to limit the possibility to vote only once from a single pc. I think that I could store and check 3 things regarding a user that has voted: 1) $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']."!".$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']."!".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 2) HTTP cookie 3) Flash cookie LSO (because this contrary to the HTTP cookei can be detected in multiple browsers( (only if Flash is installed))) But there can be a simple situation - a simple user votes one time from Firefox and after a time his IP changes (for example he uses some Mobile internet where dynamic addressing is used) . Then for some reason he wants to use Internet Explorer where Flash is not installed. In result - it is possible to vote twice. Can anyone please suggest something regarding this? I know there is not 100% bulletproof solution - I just want to minimise the possibility to vote more than once. Also I am thinking about using EverCookie(undeletable cookie) but that could cause a lot of other problems.
