I am looking for a free poll software package to create and display
results for simple polls for a PHP site. I would like to hear if you
have found a poll software package you liked.

Mine took a bit longer..the graphic artist wanted pretty colors and bars
on it..
Here's the display bit of it..assumes an open database with values of
for against neutral and didn't vote at all (NULL) in it
The databases insertion is just from a form..
function display_votes($x,$y)
{
$maxwidth=100; // simple enough.
$framey=$y+40;
$framex=$x-15;
//
?>
<div style="position: absolute; top:<? echo $framey -48; ?>px; left: <?
echo $framex ?>px; width: 180px; color:#47295C; text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;font-style: italic;font-size:8pt ">
Are you against, for, or neutral about this development?</div>
<div style="position: absolute; top:<? echo $framey; ?>px; left: <?
echo $framex ?>px;"><img src="images/Pollometer.gif" border="0";
alt="poll-o-meter bezel"></div>
<?
$y+=50;
$x-=25;
// get pixel width of the three possible results. We ignore those who
didnt vote (yet)
$neutral=mysql_result(mysql_query("select count(voted) as total from
people where voted='neutral'"),0,'total');
$for=mysql_result(mysql_query("select count(voted) as total from
people where voted='for'"),0,'total');
$against=mysql_result(mysql_query("select count(voted) as total from
people where voted='against'"),0,'total');
$total=$against+$for+$neutral;
$forx= round(($for/$total) * $maxwidth);
$neutralx= round(($neutral/$total) * $maxwidth);
$againstx= round(($against/$total) * $maxwidth);
/*$forx=10;
$neutralx=7;*/
// Right. Now draw three coloured bars.
?>
<div style="Position: absolute; left:<?echo $x+20?>px;top:<? echo

background-color:#BD3880;"></div>

How much time have you already spent trying to find a poll? And once
you find it, how much time will it take you to integrate it into your
existing site?
That half-day included graphs, btw.
It's not rocket science.
