Trying to use full urls

    I am trying to use absolute urls in ad_network.php:

    i.e. I have changed the following:
    $ad_file = 'http://www.mysite.com/myfile/ad_network_ads.txt';

    Currently it does run and if I echo $ad in ad_network.php I get something like:
    <a href="http://www.enterprisestoragemanagement.com/faq/information-lifecycle-management.shtml">Information Lifecycle Management</a>

    However, the ad doesn't display in my pages via echo $ad_network. It's as though it knows $ad on ad_network.php page but doesn't carry $ad_network into my pages.

    Can anyone help please?

    You can't use a URL... you would want to use the full path (as the server sees it).

    I presume this is a feature of an include() - is there any other alternative way of achieveing the same outcome?

    PS It does open the .txt file as I can echo $ad!

    Right, but it can't write to it.

    No, the only supported method would be the setup found under the setup instructions.
