AdSensePHP Test Mode

Version 0.7 of the AdSensePHP Lite script introduces a test mode, which is on by default. When test mode is enabled, AdSensePHP doesn’t generate any AdSense code. Instead, it generates a block of HTML that is the exact width and height of the link or ad unit that would normally be generated and that uses the same color palette the unit would use. Here’s an example of a half-banner in test mode:

Turn off test mode to see the ad unit.

Turning Off Test Mode

Once you’re happy with the layout of your site/blog, turn test mode off by editing the adsensephp-lite.php file. Find this line:

$adsensephp_testmode = true;

And change it to:

$adsensephp_testmode = false;

That’s all you need to do!
