Whenever I put my code:

<?php

function tla_ads() {

	// Number of seconds before connection to XML times out
	// (This can be left the way it is)
	$CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = 10;

	// Local file to store XML
	// This file MUST be writable by web server
	// You should create a blank file and CHMOD it to 666
	$LOCAL_XML_FILENAME = "local_309752.xml";

	if( !file_exists($LOCAL_XML_FILENAME) ) die("Script error: $LOCAL_XML_FILENAME does not exist. Please create a blank file named $LOCAL_XML_FILENAME.");

	if( filemtime($LOCAL_XML_FILENAME) < (time() - 3600) || filesize($LOCAL_XML_FILENAME) < 20) {
		$request_uri = isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) ? $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] : "";
		$user_agent = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] : "";
		tla_updateLocalXML("http://www.text-link-ads.com/xml.php?inventory_key=H0EIN8B4WNHJTYLTL4MG&referer=" . urlencode($request_uri) .  "&user_agent=" . urlencode($user_agent), $LOCAL_XML_FILENAME, $CONNECTION_TIMEOUT);
	}

	$xml = tla_getLocalXML($LOCAL_XML_FILENAME);

	$arr_xml = tla_decodeXML($xml);

	if ( is_array($arr_xml) ) {
		echo "\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; width: 100%; list-style: none; padding: 0;\">\n";

tla_ads();

?>

It always says, Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /*****/**/*******/htdocs/**********/ads.php on line 2

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /*****/**/*******/htdocs/**********/ads.php on line 2

What do I do?

What type of ads they are .... adsense ??

ghazal, they're text link adverts by Text-Link-Ads ("TLA")
