I have an advertising javascript that I want to place in the first story only! I have added it to the echo and it is showing up in all the stories on the home page. can someone help me with this!

The javascript call is:

<script language="Javascript"
src="http://www.rantchaos.com/advertise/index.php?section=serve&action=1">
</script>

and you can find it in the first echo command!!


you can see what I mean by going to htp://www.rantchaos.com

Thanks

not sure if you fixed it, but i can't see a problem on that page or quite see in your code which part is the ad you want to insert, but basically, as you're using foreach() then do something like this:

PHP Code:

$x = 1;
foreach($var1 as $var2)
{
if($x == 1) {
      print 'your ad code here';
      print 'your news code here';
}
else {
      print 'your news code here';
    }
$x++;
} 


$x is then increased by 1 for each item, and your ad will only print on the first, other than that just put your ad outside the loop.

PHP Code:

print 'your ad code';
foreach($var1 as $var2)
{
     print 'your news code';
}
