PHP Ad rotation w/stats

[dvdflashbacks]

Can someone point me in the right direction on what free or low cost ad management/ad rotation+statistics solutions there are.

 

I have a php/mysql site that I have been working on and currently I have implemented a simple image rotation (but haven't gotten the url links to work correctly) and I really need to find a better solution now.

 

I need to find some sort of easy banner ad (side ads as well) rotation management (lite) tool for php.  All we need is image w/url rotation and stats.  We only need advertisers to be able to see their impressions and click-thrus.  No other client tools are really necessary.

 

Does anyone have any good suggestions?  Thanks.

You got to add the < a href link referencing the add for the database stats.

 

Have a look the adverts are changed every 3 seconds.

 

Use a iframe in the page.

 

 

<?php

header('refresh: 3; url='.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'');

$a=array("my advert 1 <br> <img src='http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:bXAhorFB1r4qLM:http://images.worldofapple.com/tropical_ipodadvert.jpg' />",
         "my advert 2 <br> <img src='http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:bXAhorFB1r4qLM:http://images.worldofapple.com/tropical_ipodadvert.jpg' />",
         "my advert 3  <br> <img src='http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:bXAhorFB1r4qLM:http://images.worldofapple.com/tropical_ipodadvert.jpg' />",
         "my advert 4 <br> <img src='http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:bXAhorFB1r4qLM:http://images.worldofapple.com/tropical_ipodadvert.jpg' />",
         "my advert 5 <br> <img src='http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:bXAhorFB1r4qLM:http://images.worldofapple.com/tropical_ipodadvert.jpg' />",
         "my advert 6  <br> <img src='http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:bXAhorFB1r4qLM:http://images.worldofapple.com/tropical_ipodadvert.jpg' />",
         "my advert 7 <br> <img src='http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:bXAhorFB1r4qLM:http://images.worldofapple.com/tropical_ipodadvert.jpg' />",
         "my advert 8 <br> <img src='http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:bXAhorFB1r4qLM:http://images.worldofapple.com/tropical_ipodadvert.jpg' />",
         "my advert 9 <br> <img src='http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:bXAhorFB1r4qLM:http://images.worldofapple.com/tropical_ipodadvert.jpg' />",

            "my advert 14 <br> <img src='http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:bXAhorFB1r4qLM:http://images.worldofapple.com/tropical_ipodadvert.jpg' />",

shuffle($a);

echo"<table><tr>";

for($i=0; $i<4; $i++, $a++){

echo "<td align='center'>$a[$i]</td>";

}

echo"</tr></table>"

I agree with you on that.  I have a few books on PHP and prefer to build stuff myself.  But in this case I need to find a simple solution that works.

 

I downloaded a tool last night called phpads which has a pretty user friendly admin tool, but the code generator didn't seem to work correctly.  So now I am back to square one.
