Free PHP Rating Scripts
Rating scripts, such as the PHP scripts reviewed here, allow your visitors to rate any content displayed on your page. You can use it, for example, to let them rate your photos, articles, DVDs, movies, TV shows, books, videos and just about anything you like. Most of the scripts have some sort of facility to prevent or block visitors trying to vote more than once. They typically do it either by keeping a record of the visitor's IP address or by setting a cookie in the browser, or both. The scripts may or may not allow you to set an expiration time for the prevention of double voting (a useful feature, since many ISPs reuse IP addresses for different people). Some scripts may show a numerical rating, while others show a series of stars, and so on. Most if not all of them allow you to customize the appearance of the script's output.
