I have moved the download files of PHPads and PHPurl back onto Blondish.net after being contacted numerous times that the free file hosting went over bandwidth and they could not download my PHP scripts.
As a refresher, PHPads is my simple banner ad management script. PHPurl is my short URL script.
I originally pulled them off the site because they drained my bandwidth as they got more popular. Now that I can handle the downloads better since I upgraded my server, I guess it was high time I moved them back.
I keep having a few questions about each script, so I thought I would take the time to address some of them here.
PHPads questions:
Question 1: Would I create an option to allow for the banner to rotate continuously, rather than by each page load?
Answer 1: No. The script was meant to be simple and I do not see any huge updates for a while as I have been busy with other projects.
Question 2: I cannot log into my PHPads install – what is wrong?
Answer 2: You probably failed to specify the path or you messed with the ads.dat file. Re-install and follow the directions exactly as it says.
Question 3: I heard PHPads was a bit faulty on security because it allows a 666 CHMOD.
Answer 3: If you are really worried, do not download. I do however need to mention that you should not be installing PHPads on your root and you should use your htaccess file to restrict access to that directory.

Question 1: Are you going to add a visitor login so users can monitor their link stats.
Answer 1: Not at this time. Perhaps in the future when I have time. Right now the admin can see what URLs have been shortened.
Question 2: I am having a hard time designing, can you help me?
Answer 2: I do not offer hands on work for free. I already conveniently designed a layout to go with the script. You are welcomed to inquire about customizing your PHPurl version.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. If it is installation problems, most of the questions I have gotten stem from not installing correctly. It is important to read the instructions carefully and follow them. I do not hop on support questions if you offer to donate. That has happened a lot in the past and after the 3rd time of this happening and not receiving a donation, I figure it is just best to take support questions when I have time.

I am facing the problem with my old Java script which Rotate image ads on my page . How much download time reduce IF I use Phhads
There really should not be any problems with download time. It loads 1 banner, not multiple banners on each page visit. In the simple ad rotation, it takes the whole file and rotates through several which equals more load versus calling 1 at a time.
I had no idea you were so talented! I envy you, I'm still trying to learn how to write a simple plugin for WordPress. I'm getting there, but it takes some real perseverance. So I have nothing but respect and admiration for your skill set.

Thanks…lol. It took a lot of time to learn, and I still have a lot left to learn.
I actually am about to put a 2nd plugin into the WordPress plugin repository. My first is WP Subpages where you can put your subpages from a section instead of using ALL pages widget that is offered by default.
My next plugin is Vote It Up Reloaded where I corrected the permalink structure. After that is being able to add a simple RSS feed to your Admin Dashboard… great for guest bloggers. Most of that one is done. On the deck after that is a plugin to offer a better way to revamp or white label your own site. I am already starting to offer tutorials at WPAddict.net on things like branding your login page. Backend is next.
