I want to include my PHP file googleanayltics.php
on every page on my webserver that is a .php or .html document
I would like to know:<
if its in the same folder
<?php include_once("googleanayltics.php") ?>
If not use this
<?php include("/customers/f/5/f/example.com/httpd.www/folder/googleanayltics.php"); ?>
Here's what you could do accomplish what you actually want.
auto_prepend_file
and auto_append_file
. prepend.php
<?php
function callback($buffer) {
$fileContents = file_get_contents('somefile.html');
// insert $fileContents right BEFORE </head> tag
return str_replace('</head>', $fileContents . '</head>', $buffer);
// insert $fileContents right AFTER <body> tag
// return str_replace('<body>', . '<body>' . $fileContents , $buffer);
}
ob_start("callback");
?>
append.php
<?php
ob_end_flush();
?>
This relies on output buffering and is relatively expensive. You might also run into problems if your scripts also use output buffering.
So my best advice is to design your scripts in a way that the a layout is used for every page and you can easily change what's included in your pages by just changing the layout.
In htaccess you can put
php_value include_path "your/include/path/here/googleanayltics.php"
EDIT: Only now I see what you actually wanted (was hidden due to formatting). Although possible, that would be a very clumsy thing to do, and really not worth the effort. See my other answer for a way to do that.
There are two php.ini settings you might be interested in:
auto_prepend_file
and auto_append_file
They can be changed via .htaccess (see the other answer).
NOTES:
These will be included before or after the whole PHP script; but not in specific sections of the output.
They will only affect files handled that go through PHP, which means HTML files are not included, unless your server is set up to pass HTML files through PHP. This can be done by adding the following line to your .htaccess:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
Auto prepending a file that generates output is a dangerous thing to do, because it will affect (break) scripts that set headers or use sessions.
You can append or prepend files by setting a PHP ini value in .htaccess
php_value auto_prepend_file "full_path_to_the_include_directory/prepend.php"
php_value auto_append_file "full_path_to_the_file_containing_your_analytics_code"
(It'd be better to set them manually in php.ini)
