Using YACG with AuctionAds

[ImagesAndWords]

I marked this thread as a n00b alert, cuz my php skills are somewhat limited.

I am testing out a setup with AuctionAds on a YACG generated page. However, I am running into a little trouble using the YACG <?keyword()?> tag as a parameter to the AuctionAds code.

AuctionAds uses similar Javascript code like Adsense does. With AuctionAds, the target keyword is specified like this:

auctionads_ad_kw = "green widgets";
​

I have tried to use YACG with it like this:

auctionads_ad_kw = <? keyword() ?>;
​

And even this:

auctionads_ad_kw = \""<? keyword() ?>\"";
​

But it doesn't work. I'm sure the reason is that I am not using the proper escape characters or not passing the <? keyword() ?> parameter the way the javascript expects it.

How would I do this?

Can you mix java and php like that?

Yes, you can mix php w/ java. Do it like this:

auctionads_ad_kw = "<?=keyword()?>";

or..

auctionads_ad_kw = "<? keyword(); ?>";

Or, if for some reason, your echo()ing the code in PHP do this:

echo(" auctionads_ad_kw = \"".keyword()."\"");

Thanks for the tip guys!

And it's called javascript and not java. It's completely different languages just with similar names.

I'm no PHP expert but don't you have to declare your PHP lines like so

<?php keyword() ?>
