============================================================================================
What is this:
Allow many users (as many as the access point let connect, usually from 20 to 250) to score/rate something/someone through their smartphones, and simple web page. A QT desktop application is used to manage the whole system. The web server must be installed in addition to the app to get the system work.
============================================================================================
Requirements:
-
Web server with PHP support
-
Wifi local lan with IPv4 class-C addresses dhcp (ip is used to identify each user) -> max 253 users
-
Qt to compile project
-
Qt application must have r/w access to web server folder
============================================================================================
DISCLAIMER: this system is intended for NON PROFESSIONAL, DOMESTIC use. Since it has "game" purposes, it does not have security shields.
Qt desktop application manages the entire polling process.
- creates the index.php file in the web server directory
- the php script allows users to vote: their score is stored in a folder, one file for each user the filename is created from the latter number of the ipv4 address.
- the qt app polls the folder and reads the files
- when the polling is closed the qt app removes all vote files and changes the index.php
