Have you updated to the latest ad_network.php?

Are you using the normal PHP code (unchanged)? It doesn't look like it for some reason.

Here's what I'm using (on php5). It is essentially the same as original code. The changes are
1. Removed function definitions because I have php5
2. hard coded path to ad_file
3. $adline = implode(" | ", $ad_network);

This same code works (validates) on another site I tried.

<?php

if (!isset($_SERVER)) $_SERVER = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;

$ad_file = '/home/data/includes/ads/ad_network_ads.txt';

if (is_writable ($ad_file)) {
$ads = file_get_contents ($ad_file);
$ads = explode ('<ad_break>', $ads);
$ads_temp = explode ('|', $ads[0]);

if ((count ($ads) < $ads_temp[3] + 1 && $ads_temp[0] + $ads_temp[5] < time()) || $ads_temp[0] + $ads_temp[4] < time()) {
$new_ad = file_get_contents ('http://ads.digitalpoint.com/network.php?b=' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '&type=link');
if ($new_ad) {
$ads_param = explode ('<ad_param>' , $new_ad);
$new_ad = $ads_param[1];
unset ($ads_param[1]);
$ads_temp = explode ('|', $ads_temp[0] . '|' . $ads_temp[1] . '|' . $ads_param[0]);
} else {
$ads_param = array_slice ($ads_temp, 2, 4);
}
$ads[0] = time() . '|' . gethostbyname('validate.digitalpoint.com') . '|' . implode ('|', $ads_param);
if ($new_ad) {
$ads[] = $new_ad;
if (count ($ads) > $ads_temp[3] + 1) $ads = array_merge ($ads[0], array_slice ($ads, -$ads_temp[3]));
}
$file = fopen($ad_file, 'r+');
if (flock ($file, LOCK_EX)) {
fwrite ($file, implode ('<ad_break>', $ads));
ftruncate ($file, ftell($file));
flock ($file, LOCK_UN);
}
fclose ($file);
$ad = $new_ad;

} else {
$ad = $ads[rand(1,count($ads) - 1)];
}
$ad_network[] = $ad;
while (count ($ad_network) < 5) {
$ad_network[] = $ads[rand(1,count($ads) - 1)];
}
$adline = implode(" | ", $ad_network);
foreach ($ad_network as $key => $ad) {
if ($ads_temp[1] == $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] || $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] == $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) {
$ad_network[$key] = str_replace ('" />', '" class="' . $ads_temp[2] . '" />', $ad);
} else {
$ad_network[$key] = str_replace ('" />', '">', $ad);
}
}
} else {
$ad_network[] = 'You must set the "ad_network_ads.txt" file to be writable.';
}
if (substr (@$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_NAME'], -6) == '.shtml') {
ini_set ('zlib.output_compression', 0);
echo end ($ad_network);
}

?>

Sorry.

Looks like I found the problem.

$adline is being created too soon. Must have introduced this bug on upgrading.

Will test right away.

Site validates now but it has a weight of ZERO. It is a P R 3 site. Let me read the forum and see if I'm missing something.
