need help adding banner code

I need help entering a banner code on my poker site i dont know much about php i put the code where i though it would go and the banner showed up but messed up the rest of the site with database errors.
this is the code <center><?php

$script_path = "advertising/";

include_once ($script_path."placebanner.php");

placeBanner(1);

?>

i added the same one at the bottom of the page no problem i was told because it was after all the codes.I will send you the page i want to add to please help thanks

 

Without knowing too much, my initial reaction is that what you're including is larger than its "box" and is therefore messing up your site.

It works at the bottom, most likely, because there's plenty of room there.

It's like trying to put a 500px x 800px picture in a CSS div or table or area built for something like 400px x 100px. Something is going to get jacked.

 

Nothing to do with the size made it really small same thing

 

Are you importing html code? If so, perhaps it's breaking a <div> or something else.

 

if your external php file is ok then try this one..

<center>
<div>
<?php
include_once ('advertising/placebanner.php');
placeBanner(1);
?>
</div>
</center>

let me know the result..... hope it will work

 

log in your blog and click layout/add a gadget/html java script/ and past the code ur banner is activated u can move your banner anywhere ur site left or right or center ... thanks

 

Put the cursor to the place where you gonna put the banner. then click the code view, then place the code overthere.
