Text-to-Vote

Text-to-Vote is a simple web app that allows you to do realtime polling through SMS.

Text-to-Vote works with the Twilio API, so you'll need an account and phone number at Twilio before you can get started. Twilio sells simple, pay as you go phone services, and you can sign up for a free account with $30 of free credits at http://www.twilio.com.

Installation

Installation of Text-to-Vote is as simple as copying the folder, making it writeable, editing the configuration file, creating the database and pointing Twilio to the correct handlers.

  1. Copy the folder to your server.

  2. Make the folder writeable.

  3. Edit /include/config.php

  4. Run create_database.php by browsing to http://yourserver/Text-to-Vote/create_database.php

  5. Go to your Twilio numbers page and point the Voice URL to http://yourserver/Text-to-Vote/handle_incoming_call.xml (leave the default POST method selected) and point the SMS URL to http://yourserver/Text-to-Vote/handle_incoming_sms.php
