How to convert this code from SHTML to PHP

<!--#exec cmd="cgi-bin/entropybanner.cgi"-->

Code (markup):

I am using a banner management softeware, and it says I should save my page as .shtml, but it's in PHP, will changing the code to PHP make it work ?

If it doesn't work, please recommend a good banner management software.


any help is appreciated.


Thanks

 

Just use OpenAds. Forget all the CGI stuff.

The equivalent php would be something like...

<?php
exec("cgi-bin/entropybanner.cgi");
?>

or...
<?php
system("cgi-bin/entropybanner.cgi");
?>

or even...
<?php
include("cgi-bin/entropybanner.cgi");
?>

but read up on the functions at php.net as they all have extra parameters i've not gone in to.

 

This is exactly what I was looking for, hopefully I will be able to install it.


Thank a lot guys.

 

Let me know if you need any help. I have installed in several times.

Thanks a lot, I've uploaded the files to my website, and now I need to increase the memory before the installation wizard start.

Currently I am at

http://www.openads.org/support/faq.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html

trying to figure out how to increase, so far I am not able to understand anything

Is there an easy way to increase the memory using the cpanel?

any help is appreciated, I will be going through the documents, I will post as soon as I figure it out.

Really appreciated.

 

How to edit " php.ini "


Thank you

 

Assuming linux...

cd /etc
vi php.ini

Make your changes and then save them

You'll need to bounce the php service to pick the changes up.

 

Thanks a lot, but I really didn't understand anything

Where is the php.ini ?

here is my website
www.afr-team.com

 

If you are running via a hosting service, you very likely cannot access the php.ini. It will be hidden away to stop (a) nasty people hacking it, (b) silly webmasters screwing it up. If you want it changed, you'll probably have to talk to your hosting service - but they will probably say no!

If you are running your own server you can get at it and edit it to your heart's content.

 

Thanks a lot, so I need the other way to increase the memory.

anyhelp?


thanks a lot

 

Why do you need to increase the memory? My server runs 165 of my sites, and handles 3/4 million hits a day on pretty much a standard box with a gig of memory and fairly standard php setup. And we do some quite intensive stuff on there.


What can you possibly be doing that's using so much memory?

 

I think it has to do with OpenAdsNew.

Fahad: How are you accessing the files on your server? FTP or what?

 

You either need a better host or better ad software.

 

I am using Core FTP Lite.

Is there any other recommended ads software?


Thanks a lot,

 

The ad software is the best out there. you can try to download your .htaccess file or edit it through the FTP software. Just put the line in the .htaccess file that you see in your post above. Should be pretty easy really. I can provide the file for you if you like.

Fred

 

I did, and the website was no longer working

I put the line in the top, and changed its location to everywhere possible in the file.


Thanks a lot,

 

I have this line in the file

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

Code (markup):

Could it be causing the problem when I put the memory code?


Thanks a lot
