Only 4 text ads showing. I've asked for 5

On this website:
http://www.smart-pianos.com/

See the footer section immediately after where it says "useful sites" those are my network ads. The piano related text ads are not from the network, ignore those.

1. I've used the script to get 5 ads but only 4 are showing. How can I get 5 showing so that I can get the extra weight?

2 Furthermore it keeps showing duplicate ads on the same page. At time of writing I see 2 identical links on my page. This happens on most page views.

3. I'm trying to format the ads but putting a verical "|" in between ads but I can't figure out where to put the "|" without causing a PHP error when parsing.

Thanks.

 

I see 5 on every refresh

 

Mine looks like this:

<?php
ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
include ('ad_network.php');
echo $ad_network[0];
?> | <?php
ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
include ('ad_network.php');
echo $ad_network[1];
?> | <?php
ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
include ('ad_network.php');
echo $ad_network[2];
?> |
<?php
ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
include ('ad_network.php');
echo $ad_network[3];
?> <br>
<?php
ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
include ('ad_network.php');
echo $ad_network[4];
?>


Make sure you have the correct number ie [0] - starting from 0; and upload an empty text file.

 

Is it necessary to keep opening and closing all your PHP tags? And to have to use the "include" evertime?

The setup instructions imply you can just use:

$ad_network[0] | $ad_network[1] | $ad_network[2] | $ad_network[3]

But that causes php errors

that's probably it!

I'm no php guru; so I can't comment there; I just copied the code and duplicated. As well; the code has been updated; so if you haven't checked it; check it.

 

So how do we make it parse as:

text ad 1 | text ad 2 | text ad 3 | etc.

I mean how can we put those "|" symbols in without getting a php error?

thanks a lot!

 

Just for variety, this works too:

ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
	include ('ad_network.php');
	echo '<center>'.$ad_network[0].'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp'.$ad_network[1].'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp'.$ad_network[2].'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp'.$ad_network[3].'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp'.$ad_network[4].'</center>';

Code (markup):

 

This works great. It actually parses all 5 ads just like that without adding numbers or pasting multiple copies of this script. Is that how it should work? How does that work? I'm intrigued!!

Thanks
