Way of running 5 ads using one include

I am running 5 ads and at present including ad_network.php 5 times to get the ads.

To speed things up a bit can I include once and get all 5 ads in one go? If yes can you point me in the right direction re modifying the code please.

 

I believe I am up to date but only including once only brings one ad:

This is my ad_network.php file:
<?php

if (!function_exists('file_get_contents')) {
function file_get_contents($url) {
$handle = fopen($url, 'r');
$string = fread($handle, 4096000);
fclose($handle);
return $string;
}
}

if (!function_exists('make_seed')) {
function make_seed() {
list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());
return (float) $sec + ((float) $usec * 100000);
}
srand (make_seed());
}

$ad_file = 'ad_network_ads.txt';
for ($i = 0; $i <= 11; $i++) {
$p = substr ('../../../../../../../../../../', 0, $i * 3);
if (file_exists ($p . $ad_file)) {
$ad_file = $p . $ad_file;
break;
}
}

if (is_writable ($ad_file)) {
$ads = file_get_contents ($ad_file);
$ads = explode ('<ad_break>', $ads);

if (count ($ads) < 401 || $ads[0] + 900 < time()) {
$new_ad = file_get_contents ('http://ads.digitalpoint.com/network.php?s=' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '&type=link');
$ads[] = $new_ad;
$ads[0] = time();
if (count ($ads) > 401) unset ($ads[1]);
if ($new_ad) {
$file = fopen($ad_file, 'w');
fwrite ($file, implode ('<ad_break>', $ads));
fclose ($file);
}
$ad = end ($ads);
} else {
$ad = $ads[rand(1,count($ads) - 1)];
}
$ad_network[] = $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);
}

?>

This is my current code to call ads:
<?php
echo '<DIV class="box2"><DIV class="box2_t">Our Sponsors:</DIV>';
echo '<DIV Class="tc">';
ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
include ('ad_network.php');
echo '<img src="'.$dir.'images/2-but-1.jpg" width="6" height="7"> '.$ad_network[0].'<br>';
echo '<img src="'.$dir.'images/2-but-1.jpg" width="6" height="7"> '.$ad_network[1].'<br>';
echo '<img src="'.$dir.'images/2-but-1.jpg" width="6" height="7"> '.$ad_network[2].'<br>';
echo '<img src="'.$dir.'images/2-but-1.jpg" width="6" height="7"> '.$ad_network[3].'<br>';
echo '<img src="'.$dir.'images/2-but-1.jpg" width="6" height="7"> '.$ad_network[4];
echo '</DIV></DIV>';
?>

 

All my files are up to date and I use this code in my footer:

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

 

See if this works for you.

include ('ad_network.php');

echo implode(" ", $ad_network);

My apologies - I was certain I had updated ad_network.php on all my domains.

I have updated the file and it now works with a single include.

Thanks.

 

Why don't you use only this...

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

Code (markup):

Or even, to have something between anchor text...

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

Code (markup):

I don't think the inicial and final ' ' are needed, but i'm too lazy to find out...

 

I tried both of your codes and neither worked. They both only showed the first ad.

EDIT: I uploaded the latest ad_network.php file and now your code works great. Thanks!

NOTE: The initial code was missing a few characters. Here is the corrected version:
<?php
ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
include ('ad_network.php');
echo (''.$ad_network[0].' | '.$ad_network[1].' | '.$ad_network[2].' | '.$ad_network[3].' | '.$ad_network[4].'');
?>

 

I believe there should be commas between each new ad like:

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

Code (markup):

 

Sweet! Thanks Shawn!
