Banner Exchange Help

[golfinggod]

Hi

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I have no code yet for this part of the script, but I have ideas on what i am looking for.

The idea is to get the client to attach variable's like username to the end of the url pointing to the php script that will then login to mysql and increment the users account by one point and return a banner to the site.

The problem is i can get up to incrementing the database credits by using the username, but dont know how to write the code that would return a certain banner to the clients site.

Has anyone got any ideas

thanks

🙂

If I understand you right, once, you increment the users account in the database, you want to return an appropriate banner to display on their page? Is your problem in the logic to choose which banner to display, or displaying the banner itself?

What you could do is have your clients use something like the following:

<?php
$username = clients_user_name;
get_file_contents('http://yoursite.com/bannerexchange.php');
?>

Then contain all of your code in bannerexchange.php. You can do all of your database work in that file, then simply "echo" out the code to display the image...

The only problem with that, is your client's site will have to be a PHP page...

There's obviously other ways to do it, but that might get you started.

This is some code that I use through ValueClick to load ads from their database on one of my websites... it might help you, don't know...

<!-- VC active -->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
// ValueParameters
ValueHost = "YOURHOSTID";
ValueLoaded = false;
ValueID = "THEVALUEID";
ValueVersion = "1.1";
ValueBannerType = "std";

ValueWidth = 120;
ValueHeight = 240;


//-->
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript" SRC="http://oz.valueclick.com/jsmaster"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
if (ValueLoaded) ValueShowAd();
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<!-- vc active -->


<NOSCRIPT>
<A HREF="http://oz.valueclick.com/redirect?host=YOURHOSTID&size=120x240&t=std&b=indexpage&v=0" TARGET="_top"><IMG BORDER="0" WIDTH="120" HEIGHT="240" ALT="Click here to visit our sponsor"
SRC="http://oz.valueclick.com/cycle?host=YOURHOSTID&size=120x240&t=std&b=indexpage&noscript=1"></A>
</NOSCRIPT>

That obviously doesn't require the client to be PHP based...
