I need to limit users from posting more than once their vote
to the server.
Is there any better way to restrict them than using cookies and(or) IP Address?
Thank Ya all

Is this a survey application? If so, what did you capture in DB, IP address per user?
the way I've done it is to track their userID -- only registered users logged in can vote (just like only registered users logged in can post)... then if they have already voted, you can either display the results, or deny them...
This is sorta survey page, but it allows anonymous users too, so I cannot force them to register, but I may capture any other info
including IP address and keep it in DB.
So, would be IP better idea than cookies ?
Thank ya all.
If it's on Intranet with LAN setup for dynamic IP, I would go with cookies.
If it's on Internet, DB would be better for capturing IP addresses.
The cookies is better then IP.
majority user dynamic ip...
