You can use an ad server like phpAdsNew. That might be overkill for one banner, but it's an option.

If your current pages are in .php already, design your header and call it "header.php". Then include "header.php" in you pages .php code at the top.

This will make each pace with the 'include' in it pull the header.php file and include it.

This is a simple explanation, hit me up for more details if you need them!

PHP Code:

 <? include("file.php"); ?>

Make a file called file.php (or whatever you want for a naming convention) and put the code there ytou want

include that code on every page you want the banner

PHP Code:

<?
header("Location: http://yourlink.com");
?>

upload file to http://www.yourdomain.com/sponsor.php

upload banner to http://www.yourdomain.com/banner.gif

Link sites with

PHP Code:

<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/sponsor.php"><img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/banner.gif" border=0></a>

when it comes time to change, upload different banner of same name and edit the php file.

if your host enabled it you may be able to use SSI.

If you are using an editor like Dreamweaver you could do a 'find and replace', for example, find the table code you have in place now, copy it into the F&R dialogue, change the code in "replace with" and choose the folder with all of your pages in it. That would fix all the pages in that folder to the new code set.

Yeah. See you WILL need to put the code on all your pages manually in some way shape or form... so above is good

If you want to do it from multiple subfolders though and use SSI, then you should use include=virtual instead of include=file I believe. That way, you could keep the code with the banner in your root folder.

You could get your host to setup a global alias to a folder as well, but I think the SSI include=virtual is easiest.

This is all presuming you dont wanna enable parsing of html files for php code, lol.

another question...

some one mentioned to me using iframe across all the sites.

your opinions on this?

**Nbritte** · 06-20-2004, 02:02 PM

Install the apache module mod_layout
use and htaccess file to turn it on.
create a page with the header and footer information
to change the banners over the entire site you just edit the header/footer file

**Tom_PMs** · 06-20-2004, 02:04 PM

I dont care for frames at all personally.

I once made a little script that I call from htaccess that parses all html files requested, and if it finds a certain sponsor code, it replaces it, THEN serves it to the browser.

But I wouldnt use something like that permanently as it would be alot of work for apache sorta, lol.

I needed to swap too many links when the sponsor tanked. The ultimate motivation to work
