Displaying 5 text ads in a row?

    Hey Guys,
    After spending a few months trying to get the coop ads to work on ASP, I've given up BUT I am going with the PHP solution. I went ahead and got another ISP as all I had was problems with my previous ISP. I am revamping the entire site and have a long road ahead.

    Anyways in short here is my problem, I have created the ad_network_343.php file and added my blank ad_network_ads_343.txt. Also copied

    <?php
    ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
    include ('ad_network_343.php');
    echo $ad_network;
    ?>

    to the end of my index.php file. Now the ads are coming out but they are coming out in both text and banner format (see http//:www.wilpenaoutback.com). I would like to get the ads coming out ALL in text format as follows: ad1 - ad2 - ad3 - ad4 - ad5

    Ideally as: Check these sites: ad1 - ad2 - ad3 - ad4 - ad5

    When setting up the ads in the setup page I specified all text, 5 ads, separated with " - " but am getting all sorts of mumbo.

    Can someone lend a hand please?:eek:
    Thanks in advance.
    Frank

    They look like they are separated with a "-" to me...

    Hi Shawn,

    If you go to the main site - www.wilpenaoutback.com - and hit a few refreshes you'll see the banners popping up. They are not as frequent anymore (something must be flushing out) but none-the-less the banner ads are still popping up. Is there something automatic about this? Please see attachment!

    thanks in advance.
    Frank

    Ok Shawn, I think I solved the problem. Don't know if it was the correct way to solve it but seems ok now. Basically what I did was to recreate the .txt file from scratch and the banner ads are gone. I'm only getting text ads now. Was this the way to do it?

    thanks
    frank

    Sure... if you set it up originally with banners, they would still be in the .txt file.
