    I have now tried on 2 sites

    its just a PHP based site - and the PHP all works etc.
    The current url it on is All Free Recipes it should be at the bottom o the page. but its not

    the code is in the page for sure as if i edit the URl to point to a false locaton errors appear - theres just nothing on the page?

    Any ideas shawn?

    Try putting both files in the root (just as a test).

    BTW at the bottom of your advertise page you are getting

    Warning: main(http://www.all-free-recipes.com/Includes/ad_network_ads.php): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in http://www.all-free-recipes.com/Includes/footer.inc on line 16

    The question is

    Why are you putting up a Recipe site? What is your motive and what do you want to achieve?

    The site was put up mainkly because there are a lot of searches done for recipes

    have a look how many searches are done on chicken recipes?

    I also found that it shouldnt be too hard to get the deep pages highly listed on google.

    I mean ive done no SEO on the page and im in top 10 for many of the deep pages.

    Also, its another place i can sell advertising and links to my own other sites.

    What is the exact PHP you are using to call the system? (I'm assuming in the footer.inc file)

    You need to use the code as given by the setup...
    <?php
	ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
	include_once ('ad_network.php');
	echo $ad_network;
?>
    PHP:

    all ive done is change the include path?

    Surely thats not different to renaming the file?

    I thought that might be the case - we will, with your agreement, do some business here in the future as we have a big interest in this area.

    By the way where did you grab all the recipes from - I don't want them - just curious - perhaps PM me if you want. :)

    Trust me, it matters... you are including the output of a HTML file when you do it your way. The default/normal way is to evaluate the PHP code itself.

    Since the script doesn't output anything, it will always be blank when including the output. Bottom line is including via a local file or via the HTTP protocol will yield two entirely different results.
