HI, im trying to insert the php code provided by text link ads on the template sidebar, but i keep getting error messages. is there a special way to insert php code?

any help will be much appreciated

thanks

You need to change <?php to {php} and ?> to {/php}
So it should be

{php}
code here
{/php}

And not this way

<?php
code here
?>

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /home/.joyful/domain/class.template.php(745) : eval()'d code on line 57

Wow, that's a lot of code. I thought it was a little snippet..
A better way would be to make a file, lets call it ads.php and inside it you paste your php code.

Upload it somewhere on your server and remember the location.

Then in your sidebar.tpl add something like this. Using absolute path.

{php}include('/home/yourpath/public_html/ads.php');{/php}
