where are you trying to place this? The way there code is writen its checking the site via fsock and trying to include a remote file. i would want to know what the remote file is and what it contains. if it has php code in it you need to know that. if its raw html it wont display in a php block unless its echoed. If you try and include this in a html block or in a template file other than header.thtml in your theme it will fail as well. You need to ask questions on the tech underlying the advertizeing system they are useing or at the verry least probe around for info.

The link its trying to include is bad and i get 404. I tried editing it to be the same domain as the fsock call and it returns a table with nothing in it. you will find that five times out of ten your average afiliate banner advertizer dosent know anything about php and how there system worls. send me some of the other code samples for other langs so i can look at them.

sorry for the code here it is

$fp = @fsockopen("www.linkworth.com", "80",$errno, $errstr, $timeout="5");
if($fp)
{
require 'http://www.linkworth.com/act/partner/rotating_ads/inclusion_links.php?prt_website_id=5128&prt_website_link_placement_location=3&prt_website_link_placement_id=10604&link_format=1';
}
?>


they just told me to put this code so i will have a rotating add on my site and they also gave me the asp aa and rss code for the same rotating ad if i can not use the php code

i would like to put the banner in the footer or on the right block probably

i do not know what the remote file is all they give me is this code

the asp they gave me is like this




Dim objXMLHTTP, strRetVal, strHTML
Set objXMLHTTP = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
objXMLHTTP.Open "GET", "http://www.linkworth.com/act/partner/rotating_ads/inclusion_links.php?prt_website_id=5128&prt_website_link_placement_location=3&prt_website_link_placement_id=10604&link_format=1", False
objXMLHTTP.Send
response.write objXMLHTTP.responseText
set objXMLHTTP = Nothing
%>


and the rss code is this

require 'http://www.linkworth.com/act/partner/rotating_ads/rss_feed.php?prt_website_id=5128&prt_website_link_placement_location=3&prt_website_link_placement_id=10604';
?>

You could make an I-frame with this source:

Text Formatted Code
http://www.linkworth.com/act/partner/rotating_ads/inclusion_links.php?prt_website_id=5128&prt_website_link_placement_location=3&prt_website_link_placement_id=10604&link_format=1
 


And you can put that I-frame anywhere you like.

put your php code into a phpblock_functionName and place it into your lib-custom.

then create a php block using the name of your new function.
The code works fine. the only problem you may have is the require will put the add/link above your header and I dunno how to solve that off the top of my head.

Otherwize it works fine.

ok i found the lib custom and i inserted this code in the bottom




function phpblock_banner ()
{

$fp = @fsockopen("www.linkworth.com", "80",$errno, $errstr, $timeout="5");
if($fp)
{
require 'http://www.linkworth.com/act/partner/rotating_ads/inclusion_links.php?prt_website_id=5128&prt_website_link_placement_location=3&prt_website_link_placement_id=10604&link_format=1';
}
?>
}





and then i add the new block and select php block and put

phpblock_banner in the block function
i leave empty all the other fields
i saved and on the first page where the ad should show i get this

Error in PHP Block. Function, phpblock_banner, does not exist.

can you please tell me what is wrong

your problem is syntax.. try this in your lib custom:
Text Formatted Code

function phpblock_banner()
{
    $fp = @fsockopen("www.linkworth.com", "80",$errno, $errstr, $timeout="5");
    if($fp) {
        require 'http://www.linkworth.com/act/partner/rotating_ads/inclusion_links.php?prt_website_id=5128&prt_website_link_placement_location=3&prt_website_link_placement_id=10604&link_format=1';
    }
}

ensure that you have not deleted the ?> , which should be that very last thing in that file.

thank you for help

here is the last few rows of the lib custom



* This is an example of a function that returns menu entries to be used for
* the 'custom' entry in $_CONF['menu_elements'] (see config.php).
*
*/
/*
function CUSTOM_menuEntries ()
{
global $_CONF, $_USER;

$myentries = array ();

// Sample link #1: Link to Gallery
$myentries[] = array ('url' => $_CONF['site_url'] . '/gallery/',
'label' => 'Gallery');

// Sample link #2: Link to the Personal Calendar - only visible for
// logged-in users
if (!empty ($_USER['uid']) && ($_USER['uid'] > 1)) {
$myentries[] = array ('url' => $_CONF['site_url']
. '/calendar.php?mode=personal',
'label' => 'My Calendar');
}

return $myentries;
}





function phpblock_banner()
{
$fp = @fsockopen("www.linkworth.com", "80",$errno, $errstr, timeout="5");
if($fp) {
require 'http://www.linkworth.com/act/partner/rotating_ads/inclusion_links.php?prt_website_id=5128&prt_website_link_placement_location=3&prt_website_link_placement_id=10604&link_format=1';
}
}



*/

?>

move the */ , which is near the bottom, and place it before the last function. Currently it is causing your last function to be commented out.
