AdMan is a standalone Advertisement Management Server that provides publishers with a way to organize ads, view real-time traffic statistics, handle online transactions and interact with advertisers.

AdMan is the perfect tool for companies wishing to eliminate commission charges from advertising middlemen and provide more customizable ad products to their advertisers.

Features:

• Provide a direct interface between your website’s advertising and the advertisers who wish to advertise on your website.
• Create and manage zones, sections of a website where you wish to place ads.
• Support 4 different ad types: text, banner, rich, and text in list. A text ad consists of a headline and description. A banner ad consists of an image. A rich ad consists of any HTML technology including Javascript (even popups), ActiveX, Flash, etc… Text in list is a single entry in a vertically arranged list of links.
• Automatically integrate with 3rd party ad suppliers like Google AdSense, AdBrite, Commission Junction, etc…
• Create and manage campaigns, which are collections of ad spaces.
• Set pricing schemes, which define the different ad purchases that can be made. Pricing schemes consist of a price and service, which is described by cost per click, CPM, or time.
• Specify whether ads need approval after they’ve been submitted or edited by and advertiser.
• Edit any detail of an ad even after it has already been submitted.
• Automatically generate a media kit that allows advertisers to view a summary of ad spaces and costs associated with advertising in these ad spaces.
• View real time reports: daily stats, zone summaries, advertiser summaries and unique visitors down the IP and request level. Using the unique visitors pages, you can even track the flow of individual customers through your website and identify ways of improving your conversions and website structure.
• Seamlessly integrate with PayPal’s merchant services. Just enter a PayPal email address and begin receiving credit card, eCheck or other PayPal payments from your advertising clients.
• View a financial summary of all payments received or lookup an advertiser’s financial statements.
• Issue refunds.
• Issue complimentary ad spaces.
• Hide ad zones and pricing schemes so that only special advertisers can advertise in these areas.
• Generate the HTML code needed to display an ad zone and perform page tracking.
• Use AdMan ads on any website, even websites that don’t support PHP or MySQL. You can install the AdMan software on any PHP enabled web server and then display the ads on this or any other web server. (AdMan uses iframes to deliver ad content).
• Create and manage advertiser accounts: edit/view details and reset passwords.
• Manage AdMan logos and email notifications.
• Receive an email notification when an ad needs approval.
• Automatically schedule ads. Just set a maximum number of ads permitted in an ad zone at any given time and AdMan will automatically schedule the available ad spaces. In addition, you can even view a graph of this schedule.
• Access a publisher tutorial, which contains screenshots and descriptions of all publisher functionality in AdMan.
• Utilize SmartLink replacement, the method by which AdMan attempts to dynamically update all URLs in a rich ad in an effort to provide link tracking stats and the option to open a URL in a new window.
• Access the full AdMan source code so that you can modify or enhance your AdMan installation.
• Install AdMan in under 5 minutes using AdMan’s installation form.

This is a simple bubblesort by Petter Nilsenthat takes 2 arrays as
argument.The first one is the actual data used for sorting, the second
is data that will "tag along" with the first array, for instance a
descriptive text about the data in the first array.

 * bubblesort() takes one array and sorts it
 * slow but simple
 *
 * If you want to reverse, suggest doing the
 *  check outside of the for loops
 *  and call two different (outer) for loops
 *  checking on each rotation can slow you down

 *   if $needle is in $haystack return the pos (starting from 1)

 * If you want to check if they are strings you can before the if statement

This wordpress plugin enables syntax highlighting of code snippets in your post. You will need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser for this to work.

Google Code Prettify for wordpress v1.1
zip, 7kb

Installation

This plugin requires WordPress v.2.0 or later.

1. unzip and upload the files to your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin by logging into your WordPress administration panel, going to ‘Plugins’, then clicking the  ‘Activate’  button for  ‘Google Code Prettify’.
3. Done,enjoy it.

Usage

Put code snippets in <pre…</pre> or <code…</code> and it will automatically be pretty printed.

The comments in prettify.js are authoritative but the lexer should work on a number of languages including C and friends. It works passably on Ruby, PHP and Awk and a decent subset of Perl, but, because of commenting conventions, doesn’t work on Smalltalk, Lisp-like, or CAML-like languages. There’s no way to tell it which language because would complicate the interface. If it doesn’t guess the language properly, that’s a bug. It’s been tested with IE 6, Firefox 1.5 & 2, and Safari 2.0.4.
