You'll notice that it pulls it's info from a file called bannerlist.txt. So make a text document with that name and upload it to the same directory as the page with the PHP code above. Put each separate banner, text link, or whatever on its own line. It can pull in entire tables, just make sure you get rid of any carriage returns so that the entire table is on one line on bannerlist.txt.

If I wanted to use this to rotate just maybe 3-4 ads without using another phpads call, could it be used on shtml?
