You probably want something more like this:
Text Formatted Code

function phpblock_googlead()
{
  echo '
  <div align=center>
  <script type="text/javascript"><!--
    google_ad_client = "pub-***********";
...
    google_color_text = "6F6F6F";
  //--></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
  </script>
  </div>';
}

 


Of course I haven't tried it - I'm a developer not a tester! Shocked

Perhaps I've missed something, but what's wrong with putting the normal Adsense javascript code in an normal block or static page? It always worked fine for me.

Have you set it in config as an allowable protocol?
Text Formatted Code

// list of protocols that are allowed in links
$_CONF['allowed_protocols'] = array ('http:', 'https:', 'ftp:', 'javascript:');

This is just a guess as I'm learning too but if the error is indicating that the protocal is incorrect, then maybe you just have a typo or corrupt cut and paste of your Google code.

The only reason I say this is because when I cut and paste my own Google code into a basic html block some of the code was changed enough to give me some extra characters such as ->.

To solve it, I just tried again and it worked perfectly.
