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!
