I need a way to decide if it is the same person who is trying to vote for the first time. Any suggesstions welcomed. Hey, I am a newbie at PHP programming, but can probably any suggestion. Also registring IP addresses and time of vote wasnt a great idea anyway since the IP address may be given to some other person in a few days and happens to be voting for the polls. I need suggestion if any practically possible.
Tracking people's identity on the basis of IP address alone won't work well.
AFA proxies are concerned, the REMOTE_HOST variable contains the IP address of the proxy, but there's another variable that contains the IP address of the client behind the proxy. I remember using one ASP server variable for this purpose though now I can neither recall that ASP variable nor did a cursory google search reveal anything for PHP/SSI. Try researching yourself.
