I'm php include coding listed below to put banners on the sides of my site.
I'm trying to figure out how I would be able to code it, that in the include it would load a different include depending on the thread name?

example:
A thread titled "Bobs Banner" would pull bobs-banner-include.php.

I have searched and not found anything as of yet, I'm not sure if I'm using the right terminology, this is all new to me, any questions or suggestions please let me know.

Coding I'm currently using

Hooked to global_start Plugin with

Code:

ob_start();
include('/includes/banner.php');
$includedphp = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

In the template..

Code:

<td width="100px" padding="5px">$includedphp</td>

banner.php

Code:

<body>
<img src="/images/banners/banner.jpg" width="90" height="200"> 
</body>

UPDATED:
I tried

Code:

ob_start();
include('/includes/$pagenumber.php');
$includedphp = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Then renamed the banner.php to 24.php(the forumdisplay id) to no avail

I think that might work, but use double quotes, like

Code:

ob_start();
include("/includes/$pagenumber.php");
$includedphp = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Also you might need a '@' before 'include' to ignore the error if the file doesn't exist.

Thanks, I tried

Warning: include(/includes/24.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/global.php(404) : eval()'d code on line 242

Code:

ob_start();
include("/includes/$pagenumber.php");
$includedphp = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

But still got

Quote:

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/includes/24.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in [path]/global.php(404) : eval()'d code on line 242

Sorry what did you mean by

You might need ./includes instead of includes, but it depends on where you put your banner files. The other thing I mentioned is that if you put a '@' before statement it will cause errors to be ignored, so that if there's a thread without a banner, it won't cause an error (maybe that's not a problem if you are going to guarantee that every thread has a corresponding file). So, maybe this:

Code:

ob_start();
@include("./includes/$pagenumber.php");
$includedphp = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
