phpAdsNew help!

[js]

Maybe someone can help me...

I cannot get phpAdsNew to work. The installation went ok but from the admin page I am unable to get any banners up. They just show up as a broken file. I am able to upload the file into MySql but it still doesn't show up. One can upload into MySql, onto the local webserver, via a external URL or with plain html. The only time a banner appears is when I link via an external URL, but the banner does not show up on my html page.

On my html page I have included the phpadsnew.inc.php file in the header, and where I want the banner to appear I used the "view" function as per the instructions.

I suspect that somewhere my settings are incorrect but can't see it. I have installed phpAdsNew in the WWW directory and all settings in the config file reflect that.

Any ideas???!!

Thanks.

mmmm....I seem to be running into some errors according to my cgi-logs. I get the following:

[14-May-2001 12:17:29] PHP Warning:[nbsp][nbsp]SAFE MODE Restriction in effect.[nbsp][nbsp]The script whose uid is 46553 is not allowed to access /big/dom/tmp/phpIcwgcr owned by uid 98 in /big/dom/xsnoooz/www/phpAdsNew/admin/banner-edit.php on line 101

Any ideas on what to do???

The software author needs to update his script and use:
move_uploaded_file()

if that function exists...
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php

This was specifically designed for dealing with file uploads while running in a safe_mode environment...

Here is the offending line quoted earlier (line 101 in the error logs):

}
[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp]$final["banner"] = addslashes(fread(fopen($mysql_banner, "rb"), filesize($mysql_banner)));
[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp]}

So, should I change this? I'm new to PHP so I don't want to screw up.....I'm also wondering if I am supposed to change anything else in this script....I know others on FQ are using phpAdsNew....

As stated, if you are not comfortable with the required changes - see if the software author will make the necessary updates and release it...

Since he has the talent to write it - he should have the talent to update it as well...
