best way to add php code to side panel

What's the best way to add php code to the sidepanel?
I need a way to randomly display banner ads from my database based on a script I wrote for my main website.

    Would http://lussumo.com/addons/?PostBackAction=AddOn&AddOnID=207 do the job?

    Thanks for the tip, but I'm afraid it wouldn't. I need to be able to track banner displays, so I'd like to add some PHP code.
    But maybe I need to look for an add-on that places my script somewhere else on the page, like the google ads on this forum below every discussion page. I guess that wouldn't be too hard a thing to do.

    Lets go for http://lussumo.com/addons/?PostBackAction=AddOn&AddOnID=218 then?

    hey, that looks to be a cool extension. I'll test it to see if it allows for PHP code as well. Thanks for the tip, I had been searching the extensions but hadn't found this one.

    This is no good for the side panel bytte. I've been trying every sidepanel extension and none of them work for adding php content as far as I can see. If you find something let me know and i'll do the same. regards keith

    Jim solved my problem which is similar to yours bytte. Take a look at the discussions here:

    Thanks Keith. I've put my banner in the header though now, with stuffdisplayer add-on.

    $Panel->AddString("These are my notes...", 1000);

    I was just gonna add what Mark said. I have successfully, with very little vanilla knowledge, made my own add-on that adds a menu tab and an another that adds "upload file" in the panel section. I advise you to do the same using the simple $Panel->AddString([String containing your php code],[placement code])
