hi, my code needs a lot of work, but i want to be able to let users vote on their favorite car, update the database, and display the new updated data for the top ten cars listed. i want to prevent multiple votes by ip but i dont know how, but any help with the voting part of the code GREATLY appreciated, as my google tutorials seem to only show premade code.
here is the page so far.
