Or try any of the threads listed in this one:

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1791&p=9676

There is also something I had to do one time about "literal"...I'm trying to remember what it was! LOL I'll let you know when I find it.

UPDATE

Found that information here viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2169&p=9433

Where do I change this? In the template or in the admin area? Thanks for your help :)

You have to change the template file header.tpl

Find

{insert name=advertise adv_name='banner_top'}

Replace with

{php}
include "your-file.php";
{/php}
