Entropy Banner & VBulletin

[eggz]

Hi,

I am trying to get a banner management system installed on our site, and rather than the PHP ones that I find, which do not seem to like me... I am thinking of using Entropy Banner, which came 'bundled' with cPanel. This is what it tells me to do:

Then add the following tag to the .shtml page you want the banners to appear on

<!--#exec cmd="cgi-bin/entropybanner.cgi"-->

BUT this code does not work in PHP. What is the best way to get around this - using iFrames or is there a way of 'making' php parse this somehow?

Pleeeeease give as much detail as possible - you're dealing with an idiot who has never used IFrames or has much PHP experience... at all...

Cheers,
Ollie

Brute force way: create an html page with just that line on it, and then include it where you want the banners.

You would need to use your phpinclude template for this. Dunno if it will work or not, but would take 4 seconds to try.

Asking the same Question - how would you modify the code to get an Entropy banner in the header a Forum?

<!--#exec cmd="cgi-bin/entropybanner.cgi"-->
