Cannot get PHP to show within another PHP file....please help.

[zamboo]

Hello guys,

I've googled all over the web and i'm just about to give up. I'm attempting to have a random ad displayer display text ads within a box inside a php file. The issue is, no matter what I do it will not display the file.

	echo "\n\n<div style='margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;'><table border=0 width=500>";
	echo "\n<tr>";
	echo "\n<td width='150' align='center'>";
	echo "\n$imagelink</td>";
	echo "\n<td align='left'>";
	echo "\n$seolink<br>";
	echo "\nPosted by: $authorlink<br><br>";
	echo "\n<div class='desc'>";
	echo "\nVideo duration: $duration seconds<br>";
	if(!strpos($rss,"gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users"))
		echo "\nGlobal video hits: $views";
	echo "\n</div><br>";
	echo "\n$description<br><br>";
	echo "\nRelated: $keywordslinked";
	echo "\n</td>";
	echo "\n</tr>";
	echo "\n<tr><td colspan=2><div style='margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;'>";
	echo "\n \n";
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>((( IM TRYING TO PUT THE CODE IN HERE ))))
if(($i<$total)&&($i<$maxreturned))
	echo "";
	echo "</div></td></tr>";
	echo "\n</table></div>\n";
	$i++;

}

 

I tried a

$textad = include("textads.php");

then above where you see ((( IM TRYING TO PUT THE CODE IN HERE ))) i put

echo "$textad";

but it will still not display, it displays a "1" for some reason. I've tried simple

include("textads.php");

also, and nothing even shows up.

 

The textad.php file simply runs a code and grabs random ad from a text file:

 

<?php
$fcontents = join ('', file ('textads.txt'));
$s_con = split("~",$fcontents);

$banner_no = rand(0,(count($s_con)-1));
echo $s_con[$banner_no];
?>

 

Any input would be appreciated.

 

Thank you

}

With that code you have missing opening brace ({),

 

Secondly include doesn't return anything so you can't assign it to a variable.

Sorry let me paste the entire code, i thoguth i did but it was just part of it:

I would suggest breaking it all up into pieces and testing each piece separately.  Find out where things start going wrong.  I doubt anyone here will sift through all of your code for you.
