Newby to PHP here.... (Google Analytics)

RE:Google Analitcs

Hi gang,

I'm new to PHP... as you will probably be able to easily recognize by my following dialog. ;-)

Anyway... I am taking over a website written in PHP with dreamweaver CS3.

It has a seperate footer.php file in a sub directory
and I believe this makes it a dynamic site? Am I wrong?

It appears Google provides two codes for google analytics tracking. Static and dynamic

http://www.google.com/support/analyt...n&answer=55504

Utilizing the the dynamic code..... I get this error at the bottom of my pages.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/content/B/r/1/Hidden/html/-APPI-/NAV/footer.php on line 26


HELP.... :-(

Footer.php looks like this (located in a subdirectory)
************************
<?php

echo "
<br />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=\"right\" ></td>
<td align=\"right\" valign=\"top\">
<table style=\"margin-left:15px;border-style:solid;border-width:2px;border-color:#000000\" width=\"580\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" bgcolor=\"336699\" height=\"20\" bordercolor=\"#000000\">
<tr>
<td>
<div align=\"center\"><font color=\"#FFFFFF\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\">&copy;
Allied Power Products, Inc.</font></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div align=\"center\"><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"><b><br>
CAUTION:</b> The final determination as to the suitability of<br>
this product for any purpose is solely that of the user.<br>
Our products are not to be used to lift or move<br>
people or to lift anything over people.</font></div>
</td>
</tr>
<?php
$virtual_page = "Main_Page"
include_once "analyticstracking.php" ?>"
</body>
</html>
";

?>


Analytics.php looks like this
************************

</script>

<script type="text/javascript">

Actually, its not $virtual_page="Main_Page". Its because, You have opened the double quote and you are closing it at the end. (after </html>). And you are having a php tag within a php tag !
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <?php
  2.  
  3. echo "
  4. <br />
  5. </td>
  6. </tr>
  7. <tr>
  8. <td align=\"right\" ></td>
  9. <td align=\"right\" valign=\"top\">
  10. <table style=\"margin-left:15px;border-style:solid;border-width:2px;border-color:#000000\" width=\"580\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" bgcolor=\"336699\" height=\"20\" bordercolor=\"#000000\">
  11. <tr>
  12. <td>
  13. <div align=\"center\"><font color=\"#FFFFFF\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\">&copy;
  14. Allied Power Products, Inc.</font></div>
  15. </td>
  16. </tr>
  17. </table>
  18. <div align=\"center\"><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"><b><br>
  19. CAUTION:</b> The final determination as to the suitability of<br>
  20. this product for any purpose is solely that of the user.<br>
  21. Our products are not to be used to lift or move<br>
  22. people or to lift anything over people.</font></div>
  23. </td>
  24. </tr>";
  25. <?php
  26. $virtual_page = "Main_Page";
  27. include_once "analyticstracking.php";
  28. echo "</body>
  29. </html>";
  30. ?>
This will probably do.

  26. include_once "analyticstracking.php";
  27. echo "</body>
  28. </html>";
  29. ?>

I do appreciate your work.... Still seem to be getting this same funny error.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '?' in /home/content/B/r/1/Hidden/html/-APPI-/NAV/allied_footer.php on line 25

FYI... allied_footer.php is the actual name of the footer file. I just referred to it as footer.php earlier to reduce confusion. I will stick with calling it allied_footer.php from now on.

Keep in mind, my "allied_footer.php" is in a sub directory. The analyticstracking.php is in the main directory. Let me know if this is an issue. Thank you!

Hi Nav,

I actually pasted your code, with nothing else, directly into allied_footer.php. So there is nothing but what you provided me at the moment.

I hope this is what you were asking??? I'm ready to provide info when you need it.... Thank you....
