UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting Rotating Banners using PHP

Not sure if this is the right place to post this ...

Any assistance would be appreciated ... I tried doing a search, but couldn't find any previous discussions on this topic, so I apologize if this has been mentioned before.

I am using "Ad Manager" technology to serve the rotating banners on my website. On the basic html pages, it works fine as long as I have the pages named with a .phtml extension.

The code that I insert is similar to the following:

?
require "$DOCUMENT_ROOT/adserver/config.inc.php3";
require"$DOCUMENT_ROOT/adserver/view.inc.php3");
?
html
head
title demo /title
/head
body
?
view("468x60");
?
(the code is not exact because I had to remove certain aspects of it to get it into this post).

Is there any way that I can get this to operate on the board and if so, do I need to modify anything to do so.

Thanks!!

Try adding the following to the header of your UBB style template:

Replacing php-ad-file.php with the name of your PHP file.

I'm sure Charles or someone else will correct me if this is wrong...

Yer wrong. See my answer on Community.

In short, CGI output can't be filtered by PHP in the current generation of web servers. You'll have to use normal HTML code to rotate the banners...

OK, thanks Charles... I wish I'd get something right for a change..

How about creating a frameset? PHP banner ads in the top, UBB in the bottom.

UBB doesn't work well in frames due to stupid IE6 problems...
