Website Ratings Addon Utility Script Tutorial
The coolest ratings php script the NoSQL way. Plug and play.
Hi there!. In this thumbs up php ratings script tutorial
I will show you how easy it is going NoSQL like me.I have written this script to make it plug and play.
Just include it in pages you want a ratings sytem.
I go thru the steps and include logic and process comments so you know how I think.
I could have done it in less code but I wanted to make it easier for the people to use.
All you need to do is save the images or substitute your own. Be creative.
I hope you enjoy examining it and getting use out of it.I will change post to ajax or target Iframe. No page jump. Thank you very much. ttyl
P.S. By the way it is at the bottom of this page try it out.
