Review - phpAdsNew Banner Management System

The what field can also accept some rather complex statements, allowing you to specify exactly which banners should be included in a rotation. If you want to match a banner by its ID, you can use the following statement:

bannerId:40

On some occasions, it's also handy to display only HTML banners, or only SQL-based banners, etc. We can do this by specifying the format statement in the what field, like this:

format:html

As mentioned earlier, you can specify the width of the banners you'd like in the rotation with width x height, just like this:

468x60

You can also specify just the width of the banner, like this:

Width:468

There are dozens of other advanced values for the what field, including matching based on logical operators, the global keyword and more. If you're interested in these other advanced values, then consult the phpAdsNew documentation, chapter 3.2.

Conclusion

In this article we've seen how to set up and use phpAdsNew, which is a great, free, open-source ad management system. If you run your own Website then you should consider using phpAdsNew to add some advertising to your site as a way to make some extra revenue for your hard work.

I think that the reason why phpAdsNew is so popular is because it's always being updated and debugged, much like all of the other Web apps on SourceForge. I myself will use phpAdsNew both now and into the future, as I personally believe that there's no other ad system like it.
