Re: [PHP] Banner Ad Serving...
You can also checkout OASIS http://oasis.sourceforge.net/ It's pretty good software, but i'm unable to use it here because it doesn't have as man features as OAS from RealMedia which my manager is used to. http://www.realmedia.com It's expensive and doesn't really integrate into PHP. but it's very indepth.

RE: [PHP] Banner Ad Serving...
Here's the URL for mod_layout if anybody's interested... http://software.tangent.org/projects.pl?view=mod_layout It's powerful, but just a little heftier than what I want. Since all I need is .html and .htm support, I think I'm just going to end up modifying my http.conf - I'd rather mess with Apache a little versus giving PHP another mod to stress over. PHP makes a good pipe. :D Thanks again, everybody. I love this list!

Well, this IS a php list :P If you have control over the apache config, you can specify all .html files to be parsed in the same way as .php -- although there will be some kind of performance hit. There is mod_ssi (server-side includes) which works on .shtml pages (or all .html pages if you specify it in the apache config. But in both cases, you want the "bit of code" (a banner I guess) to appear after the BODY tag, and possible after some other code, like tables n stuff, so auto-prepending will not work, and realistically, *total automation* of this process will be impossible to achieve in standard HTML files, due to the nature of WHERE you need to position the banner, and the fact that the HTML before the banner will be different on a page-by-page basis. I'd have a bunch of php files which all have a snippet of code in them for the banner. something ... some layout stuff ... .. the page content here ... getRandomBanner.php would be a small file which get a random (or specific) banner from a database or directory, and returns the appropriate HTML code (an anchor and an IMG tag) in the correct place. SSI would have similar structure, but with different limitations. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
