That was over a year ago, and I know there are some new PHP banner scripts out there, so you may have better luck. When we were looking, though, it seemed nearly impossible to find a feature rich, and efficient, script for serving millions of banners a day.

Perl is great! My custom banner software handles 5 millions views a day. It's working together with MySQL. Only 1 little piece of the software is written in C++ to handle the process of serving the banners.
