    My site failed validation today - I updated the php file and the ads are showing but its still failing validation. Another one of my sites works though.

    The site that doesn't work is:
    http://www.vietnamjournal.org

    Thanks for any advice.

    Are you including the ad_network.php file as a file? Make sure it's not a URL.

    This is the code I'm using to for the ad network (copied from my footer.php):

    include ('ad_network.php');
    echo ('Ads: ');
    echo implode (' | ', $ad_network);

    Try adding this to the end of your ad_network.php file:

    echo "<!-- $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR] -->";
    PHP:
    and tell me when you have done it.

    You can go ahead and take it off. It looks like you might have a front-end web server that is proxying all the web requests. Because of that, your "real" web server (and therefore the ad_network.php script) sees the user's IP address as an internal/non-routable IP address...

    192.168.2.201 in my case when I looked.

    Sorry to keep asking, but what do I need to do to fix the proxy issue?

    I'm in contact with the web hosting so I can fix the problem if I know what to do. Thanks.

    Shawn, my friend changed ad_network.php to work with web proxies (as long as it still shows the ads) - do you want the code?
