yep, i did have a look at that before i first posted but couldnt work it out. now that you have forced me into looking further would i do something like this or is other coding needed to set "case"

PHP Code:

//############### start advertising / sponsorship banner #############
case 'store':
      $userinfo[where] = "$filename";
      break;

$showad = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM ads WHERE pagename='$filename'");
    if (empty($showad[forumidnum])) {
  $randomad=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM ads ORDER BY RAND() desc LIMIT 1");
   eval("\$showthisad .= \"".gettemplate("ads_bannerbank")."\";");
 } else {    
eval("\$showthisad .= \"".gettemplate("ads_forum_sponsor")."\";");
}
