How to Create Ad Groups in PHP (V5)
We will release PHP samples in V5 to MSDN by May 2008. In the interim, we'll use this site to release PHP samples in V5.
The following PHP example shows how to create ad groups by using the Campaign Management Web service. This example assumes that you have already determined which campaign ID will be used for the ad groups; you must substitute your campaign ID for the $campaignID variable that is assigned 136164 in the following code.
