   Hi.
   I need to load an ad at certain intervals on index pages, and I'm trying this code:
   

   <?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
   <?php $count = 0 ; /* Setting count to zero for ads interval */ ?>
   <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   	<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
   	<?php /* Getting the minibanner ad at certain intervals along the list of entries down the page */
   	$count= $count+1;
   	if($count(array('1', '5', '10', '15', true))) { include("ads/minibanner.php") ; } ; ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   This gives me a "Fatal error: Function name must be a string in /mounted-storage/..." and so on, indicating line 33 which is this line:
   

   if($count(array('1', '5', '10', '15', true))) { include("ads/minibanner.php") ; } ; ?>

   This is in the twentyeleven theme, slightly modified but have left the functions.php file alone so far.

   Any pointers?

   [untested] Try changing this:
   

   $count= $count+1;
   if($count(array('1', '5', '10', '15', true))) { include("ads/minibanner.php") ; } ; ?>

   to this:
   

   $count++;
   if($count == 1 || ($count % 5 == 0 )) { include("ads/minibanner.php") ; }  ?>

   That works excellent. Thank you very much! :)

   Btw: your code sets an interval of 5 right? So if the number 5 is changed to 4 then that's the interval?

   Yes to both questions. Glad you got it resolved.
