Commercial Break (A phpAds Primer) - Endgame (
Page 9 of 9 )
And that's about it for this tutorial. In this article, I
introduced you to one of the more popular banner management programs out there,
and explained how you could integrate and use it on your own Web site. I guided
you through the process of installing and configuring phpAds, showed you how to
add clients and banners, and also illustrated, with a simple example, the
additions you need to make to your Web pages to display these banners. Finally,
I rounded the discussion up with a look at some of the additional options
available in the view() function, and a brief description of the data that is
generated via the application's statistics module.
I hope you found all
of the above interesting, and that it encouraged you to try out phpAds on your
own Web site. So go on - give it a shot...and if you hit it big, remember to
invite me to the party!
Note: All examples in this article have been
tested on Linux/i586 with PHP 4.2.0, Apache 1.3.12 and phpAds 1.4.20. Examples

YMMV!
