Not quite sure what you're talking about, so I'll give my best shot.

If you're talking about having a 5-star/10-star (etc) rating system, optimally, you should probably use a database backend and a jQuery frontend. In the database, you can store the stars as an tinyint (values 1-255), and you can use jQuery to:

• Send an AJAX request to the server when the user rates an item
• Display the stars so they're quite pretty and attractive, by utilizing their plugins and so forth

Depending on how you want to accomplish this, you may have a boolean stored in the session which checks if the user has rated an item or not; this is to prevent someone from rating an item over 9000 times.
