PHP and AdSense Code

[WildSeeker]

Greetings!

I have been approved by AdSense (Google), and am interested in placing the code on my site pages. I had my developers place it on my index page, and they coded it as a custom footer for the index page. I would like to also place it on select pages on my site, not as a footer necessarily, and would like to do it myself.

I can do relative simple coding on my own, but could use some guidance on placing javascript. What I am hoping for is some guidance on coding tips/examples with respect to the AdSense code and PHP.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Hi Wildseeker,

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with AdSense, yet.
If you are trying to call a Javascript code from a file, you can use this
<script language="javascript" src="somefile.js"></script>
and if it's php
<? include("somefile.php"); ?>

Hello Cyanide -

Thanks for your reply. I suppose I should have copied the code here that I am looking to place. Google instructs to "copy-and-paste this HTML code into your web pages":

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "my client ID";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = "468x60_as";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

My question is how I place this code into my PHP files. I am familiar with using javascript in HTML pages, just a bit unsure of the intricacies of PHP in this respect.

HI wildseeker,

All you have to do is put that code, exactly as it is in a file. Call the file something like adsense.php

Then put this code:
<? include("adsense.php"); ?>
wherever you want the ads to show
The adsense.php file in this code assumes you have it placed in your root directory. If, for example you have this file in a folder called extras then just change the code to
<? include("extras/adsense.php"); ?>

Thanks Cyanide -

I was able to get the code included with no problem. As it turned out, I was actually able to copy and paste the code, as is, directly into a table on the page I was working with.

I appreciate your help.
