err... this very tricky as the future website will be hosted at some other server and domain... unless those website that using your theme have something like a trigger/ping page that you can ping unto for triggering the url update...

on second though...i just remember i've been looking for the same thing few years ago... lucky it still in my bookmark.... here the url that i refer too... WWW FAQs: How do I include one HTML file in another?

the javascripts include look more stealth than the php include... but be sure it will cost extra bandwidth to your server.... i never implemented it back then coz its not that practical....

Can't a javascript do the trick?
and the banner called the javascript from your server.
You can update the script at anytime.

yeah, i heard other recommended using js, does any website have this kind of guide?

iamfreelancer > the bandwidth cost not much right, since it is only text link and not graphical link

I have try the link you provide, it is helpful, and i have try it in the same directory, it works

Code:

<? include 'banner.php';?>

but when i change to

Code:

<? include 'http://otherdomain.com/banner.php';?>

this could not work, some thing wrong in my code?

try this... i think you forgot the php word
<?php include 'http://otherdomain.com/banner.php'; ?>

for a more simpler solutions you can use iframe to load the text links from your server...

Iframe should be okie, but iframe not SE friendly... SE does'nt crawl iframe link

allow_url_fopen in the php config must be enabled on the target server. (Assuming server is NOT a Windows machine running PHP < 4.3.0 )

Ada server tak benarkan include external file, try curl...

<?
$domain="http://www.icalvyn.com/footer.php";
$homepage="temp.txt";
$ch = curl_init($domain);
$fp = fopen($homepage, "w");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$contents = fread($file,filesize($homepage));
fclose($fp);
echo $contents;
?>

Javascript lebih sesuai.

since it's document.write(); function.. technically.. not a link. Same as iframe too..
such a waste rite? Didnt help on pagerank increment.

so that's the problem.

for me.. it's better put the real link at footer.php.. there might be 1 or 3 or 50 people will remove your link.. but still more you got.

But in case of changing domain / site.. nothing you can do lah...
