Create a New Thread as Poll

[Kozical]

Hey, I have recently found code for creating a new post but I need to create a thread and hopefully without me having to personally write the sql inserts and queues to manually create a new thread that works as a poll.
I wanted to stop by here and ask the community if there was a way.

I am trying to make an application form to join my community and then once it is submitted have it automatically create a new poll thread that people will vote on. Rather than having to manually go in and create one every time someone applies..

Question again just for clarity:

I need the php code to create a new poll thread. Does anyone know where I can locate this?

Thanks!
