Well,
as with most php programs, I would start out writing the html first.

Song1
<form action=ur script method=post name=song1>
<input type=hidden name=f_type value=song1>
<input type=radio name=hott>Its a hottie~!
<input type=radio name=good>Good
<input type=radio name=average>Average
<input type=radio name=poor>Poor
<input type=radio name=die>Deserves to die
</form>

Song2
<form action=ur script method=post name=song2>
<input type=hidden name=f_type value=song2>
<input type=radio name=choice value=hott>Its a hottie~!
<input type=radio name=choice value=good>Good
<input type=radio name=choice value=average>Average
<input type=radio name=choice value=poor>Poor
<input type=radio name=choice value=die>Deserves to die
</form>

watch my html be wrong :-)

then I'd do a simple php parsing script and send the results to a display script with a cookie, and expire it when it gets there. This won't do a database and log the results, but then you would have to use fwrite and fscanf, I'm experimenting with those right now. This might help to get you started though.

<?php
switch($_post[f_type])
{
case song1:
setcookie(song1,'$_POST[choice],3600);
header("your display script")
break;
case song2:
setcookie(song2,'$_POST[choice],3600);
header("your display script")
break;
}
?>
<html><body></body></html>

and the display script would be simple enough

<?php
ifisset($_COOKIE[song1]){
echo 'Song1 was voted as being' . $_Cookie[song1];
setcookie("song1", "", mktime(12,0,0,1, 1, 1990));
}else{
ifisset($_COOKIE[song1]){
echo 'Song1 was voted as being' . $_Cookie[song1];
setcookie("song2", "", mktime(12,0,0,1, 1, 1990));
}}

you could always change the echo's to fwrites, set up a more complicated parsing script with delimiter and line breaks, but I'm having issues where scanf finds my seperator, then appends like i want, but apends OVER the \n, thus overwriting my next line. If you can over come that then go for that approach. GL
