 * I’ve searched high and low and maybe I’m just searching with the wrong wording.
   Please forgive me I’m nowhere near a php expert.
 * I have multiple sites that I administrate and the all have the same sidebar widget
   that includes links/images to our main site and affiliates. Rather then have 
   each site administrator copy and paste the ad code in a text widget is there 
   a way that I can just hard code the following code directly and have it work?
   I’ve tried but it doesn’t work.
 * For example:
 * <?php include(“[http://wordpress.org/banner.php&#8221](http://wordpress.org/banner.php&#8221););?
   >
 * That’s it. So that way I can create a simple document with all our banners, images
   and links in one simple “banner.php” file so when modified, it modifies all the
   sites that pull that same include.
 * Any light at the end of this tunnel would be awesome!! Thank you so much.

 * As you’ll read from this question/answer ([http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3101327/using-includes-cross-domain-that-contain-php-code-failing](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3101327/using-includes-cross-domain-that-contain-php-code-failing))
   this isn’t a good practice.
 * If you are looking to put sidebar content in place, especially in widget form,
   why not create a plugin that adds a widget to your site? Then your site admin’s
   can add the widget to their sidebar and when the plugin is modified, all of their
   sidebars will change with it.

 * Yeah not exactly what I wanted to do. Problem is I want to control all ad content
   on our sites without having to rely on an administrator up update the content
   when they want to.
 * Very informative link though, thank you for pointing that out.
 * Can you think of any other options to do that function? I’d love to create a 
   plugin to just do that, then have each site run the plugin and it’d do it automatically.
   Definitely not a plugin programmer. 🙂
