    I guess the quickest way to do it is have your link(s) in separate file, for example links.txt or links.html and then in the document include the file like this:

    <?php include 'links.html';?>
    PHP:
    But there are better ways.

    I would recommmend the above method told by steelax since it's faster, however if you've already made your website and want to edit the link, you can use any free software like NotePad++ etc. to "Find in files" and replace it via the replace option. Can't think of anything faster and easier than that...

    yes I already did that, but I can still use find in files, and replace all link in php format, but what I need is actually a php code to replace another ad script, I have over hundreds of webpages, whenever I need to just replace an ad code use the find in files method gonna take very long time to replace all ad code, that's why I want a better solution:confused:

    Store your ads or ad links in a database.

    why don't you just use an include-file on the webpages? Then all you would have to do is upload a new file for inclusion to the pages using the ads.

    eg:

    include.html
    contains the ads that are gonna be shown on the webpages

    webpages.php
    each webpage contains the <?php include ('include.html'); ?> where the ads are supposed to be shown

    if you need to change some of the ad-code, you just change the one file, the include.html, and upload it to the web-server

    Wouldn't that work just fine?

    Well... if you want to get the ad from another server/page, include it on the other webpages in an iFrame - then you'd just have to update the one page the ad is pulled from.

    Note that this will put a tremendous strain on the server you pull the ads from, since, as you say, you have hundred of websites, and each of them will pull an ad every time the page is refreshed, or someone goes to other pages that has the ads embedded.

    It is not a recommended solution.
