OK i would like to automate my banner ad selling with the softbiz Ad Management Plus script (it seems to be the best for paid automated advertising)

http://www.softbizscripts.com/

But I've hit a small problem.

They generate iframe code to include a PHP file which isn't going to work of course in vbulletin directly.

<iframe src="http://www.softbizscripts.com/scripts/baplus/image.php?size_id=55"
width="234" height="60" scrolling="no"
frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
vspace="0" hspace="0"><br><font size=-1></iframe>So i thought, hold the phone, i can just create a quick plugin with some global variables and insert those variables into my templates at the appropriate places.

I originally tried using the global_start hook and created a plugin with the following (for testing)

$testme="hello world"and inserted $testme in my template.

Of course this didn't work so i had to do some research.

Eventually i found i needed to use ob_start(); ob_get_contents();
and ob_end_clean();

So

ob_start();
echo "hello world";
$testme = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean(); I haven't tested that but i assume it would work as described above, using the $testme variable in a template to display hello world.

However, how do i do this with the above code ? Its calling

Anyone any idea ?
