problems with simple include

[Anon]

I am having problems with a simple banner include. I an getting weird characters in place of my banners. http://www.rockininrhythm.com/test/test.php3

the script in the html is simple.

<?php include "ad.inc"; ?>

am I doing something wrong??

I am a newbie at this php stuff, so I got the random banner include script off of a site.

please help me...thanks

Without seeing what's in ad.inc it's hard to tell. I always include like this:

include("ad.php");

to explicitly indicate that the included file is to be interpreted as PHP. Also: you can do a View/Source to see what is being returned from the include like this:

echo("Starting include|||<br>");
include("ad.inc");
echo("<br>|||Ending include<br>);
