Adsense in External PHP File?

[Sloth_Boy]

I'll make this post short,

I want to place my adsense code in to an external PHP file. I then need to know how I get the adsense information from the php file into my websites php files.

I also want the color of the adsense link (the main header of the ad) to change between 4 colors randomly.

Could someone help me out here? I only know basic php so if someone can tell me how I can do this, that would be great

Cheers!

If you save your AdSense code into a file named "adsense.php", then in your webpages you'd write <?php include("adsense.php"); ?> to insert the contents of the file.

As for switching link color:
adsense.php

<?php
//whatever colors you want
$colors = array("000000", "0000ff", "ff0000", "00ff00"); 

//generate a random number from 0 to 3 (4 values)
$randval = rand(0,3); 

//get the color from the array by the random key
$linkcolor = $colors[$randval]; 
?>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-9095657276960731";
google_ad_width = 160;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "160x600_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel ="";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "<?php echo $linkcolor; ?>";
google_color_url = "008000";
google_color_text = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"

</script>

Thanks, but do I put "<?php include("adsense.php"); ?>" in the ehad of the document. If so, how do I then choose the spot on the page I want the adsense ads?

Cheers!

No, you put it where you want the ad to be.
