would like to display an ad or image on select pages only

Post by chemchris »

This may go into regex a little as well, but here is my problem first. I have to get this javascript sample ad to display on "about 100" content pages of this site- which has about 9000 pages in total. I need it to display under the left navigation. The left navigation code is currently in an xtpl file which apparantly wont even output a simple echo statement. (dont worry about that part, if I can get the php to make this work I'll find a way to get it into the xtpl page)

I was trying to originally write a script that generated a random number (say 1-10) and would only display the ad if the random number was equal to 1.

I would rather create the script to only show this code if the name of the page began with maybe the letter ''L". The thing is there is a URL rewrite rule in the .htaccess file, so I dont know if I tried to create a script that would recognize any url what was http://www.healthocrates.com/l% that the php script would even identify that as a match- since thats technically not the right URL (I think, I could be wrong there)

I am open to any other ideas on how to get this javascript sample ad to appear on only about 100 pages- I would ideally like them to be the same pages, that way I dont have to ask the client to sit there and refresh the page until the sample ad shows.

using PHP Version 4.4.3

thanks in advance.....
