php poll question

[debby]

I am new at php so I thought I'd start with something simple like the php poll from http://www.proxy2.de/. I've got all of the settings down, but it wants to know the mysql hostname. What should I put there? I set up a mysql database called goatweb_poll.

I'm sure I'll have many more questions! Thanks in advance :-)

Seems nice, but I dont' think it will let you use more than one poll at one time. Tried 4 different poll scripts before I found one that works pretty much. I need to format it a bit, but it's here at www.totalnonsense.com if ya want to check it out.

...is that they work, but they are a complete pain in the @ss oftentimes to get them exactly the way you want them... I'm still struggling with it after trying out multiple scripts... *sigh*
