<?php

if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {
Header("Location: ../index.php");
die();
}

ob_start();
include ("textLinkAds.php");
$tla_ads = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$content = "<table border=1 bordercolor=#008040 cellpadding=5>";
$content .= "<tr><td align=center>";
$content .= $display1;
$content .= "</a></td></tr>";
$content .= "</table>";
?>

And I have this in a file called textLinkAds.php in my root folder:

Forums wont let me post the code...

I just can't get it to work but I'm sure it's very simple. I read lots of other threads about it that were linked to in the php section but, like I said, I'm a bit of a spaz with this. Smile

Well your file output is going to $tla_ads, but the block output wants to read $display1

Sorry I don't really know what you mean, could you type it here for me, altering the code I posted?

I'm saying its reading the block input into $tla_ads
However the output is looking for the variable $display1

I still don't understand it though, I tried different ways of writing it but I don't really know what I'm doing _ i just copied thye code from other threads and tired to guess what goes where, without understanding what any of it means.

Try replacing where it says:

Thanks, I'm sure I tired that but it seems to work. It seems to work with the textlinkads.php in the root though, not in the blocks folder. Smile
