Multiple ads on IPB page

    Ok, the ads have to be included on the page through use of a phpinclude. I've included the file in my board wrapper, and the file named include.php just has this code in it.

    <?php
 	ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
 	include ('ad_network.php');
 	echo $ad_network[0];
 ?>
    Code (markup):
    Anywho, I want to try and run multiple ads on the page, but I've come across a bit of a problem. If I add, $ad_network[1]; etc. after that, the same ad just shows up loads of times. If I duplicate the include line in that for every different number, I still get the same effect.

    I also tried having different include files for each ad, but it didn't particularly like this probably due to the repitition of the include line.

    Anyway, any suggestions so I can get multiple ads?

    Update your ad_network.php file with the latest one from the setup.

    No, was a couple days ago it was updated to always queue up 5 ads. If you have the following line in your ad_network.php file, then you have the right file:

    while (count ($ad_network) < 5) {
    PHP:

    Yeah, I've got the right file alright. Any other ideas as to what it might be. At the moment, I've changed it back to just showing one ad, but I can change it so it shows all 5 so you can have a look if you want?

    Instead of echo $ad_network[0];, try this:

    print_r ($ad_network);
    PHP:
    That will output the whole array to see what's up with it.

    hmmm, it says

    that would appear to be right? Ok, update I re-uploaded all the files and cleared the text file, and all appears to be working. One final thing, how would I implement code such as | between the ads from the php file?

    Thanks

    Easiest way (assuming you wanted all 5 to show) would be:

    echo implode (' | ', $ad_network);
    PHP:
