how to use PhpAds in header?

[islandman]

How do I use this header fragment which is Php code calling PhpAds?

==============


<table width="100%"><tr><td><img src=an image here></td>
<td>
<?php
include ("../config.inc.php3");
include ("../view.inc.php3");
view("468x60");
?>
</td>
</tr></table>

=============

I tried the

$header ="<table width="100%"><tr><td><img src=an image here></td>
<td>
<?php
include ("../config.inc.php3");
include ("../view.inc.php3");
view("468x60");
?>
</td>
</tr></table>";
==================
but it did not work... global.php3 error

Same with
=================

$header ="$header ="<table width=\"100%\" align=\"center\"><tr><td><img src=\"an image here\"></td>
<td>
<?php
include ("../config.inc.php3");
include ("../view.inc.php3");
view("468x60");
?>
</td>
</tr></table>";

==================

Please advise via email

same here...installed phpads and can't get it to work in the header template along with my html code in the header ... tried all of the above and no go ...

It took me a while but i got it install by doing this

require("/home/domains/cyo/christianfourm/htdocs/ads/config.inc.php");
require("/home/domains/cyo/christianfourm/htdocs/ads/view.inc.php");
require("/home/domains/cyo/christianfourm/htdocs/ads/acl.inc.php");


$id = view("468x60", 0, "_blank"); 
$arr = array( array("!=" => $id));
view("default", 0, "", 0, $arr);

Change the require statments to where you keep your phpads scripts.

default is for the keywords
view 468 X 60 is the banner size. I am still trying to get it to work with text ads.

Make sure you type in the height and width in phpads admin.

Also make sure you go to change options and select yes for useadvheader if you want the banner on top. If you want the banner of bottom you need to turn useadvfooter to yes.

Here&#039;s how I did it...

By using phpAds' remote invocation (see phpAds documentation)

No need to turn on the adv header option since it is basically an ordinary image call.

Hope this helps.

Anyway, if I can only figure out how http://www.EXTREMEFORUMS.com is able to display allof the latest threads, members on his homepage..
