The main reason why I started this project was to prove to myself that I could create a graph that changed dynamically
due to the results of a poll. I remember seeing some of these graphs on websites that would ask a question and have
a few choices for an answer. Once the person answered, it displayed a graph that displayed the results. I knew that
I could do this.
This was actually a little harder than I thought it would be only because I couldn't get the table to look the way I
wanted. Setting up the MySQL database was easy, and PHP helped make it easy to interact the submitted data with the
database. But getting the bars to stretch across the screen in different lengths was a bit more complicated until I
realized what I was doing - then it became a snap!
I think if I had to do this over again, it wouldn't take as long to complete only because I did it before. Although,
I think it would be neat to make a dynamic graph in Flash - hmmmm, maybe next time. However, I
still am proud of my finished product!
