Up/down voting script

Question

I'm trying to develop a voting system in PHP for my posts where visitors can vote them up or down and then I should be able to sort posts by highest/lowest rated.

Can anyone please recommend a good script I can use for this?

Just write one yourself.. It's not as if there are script for any custom system anyway... — poke, Oct 15 '10 at 16:34

There is no "script" that will magically do this for you.

You will need to create a table in your MySQL database, which at the very least has two fields, post id, and vote count.

You will also need to create a PHP page which handles vote updates as well as returning posts in sorted order.

-1 You're wrong. It depends what we're talking about. There are external services for that matter, or even scripts that "attach" to the current system called module in some cases. – Aug 24 '14 at 11:48

The following links refer you to pages with a bunch of such voting scripts. Some are free and some you have to pay for:

It says "Redirecting to advertiser" when I click "DEMO". If you fix that I'll upvote your answer – Aug 24 '14 at 11:46
Sorry, Dad. That domain has been out-of-order for ages. – abhisek Aug 24 '14 at 12:51
