i am working on a static website which is hosted on linux and php and mysql. i am creating the html and css part of the website

all the pages in the website have a common section for example top portion has header links and bottom has footer links

so i thought it would be a good idea to have header.php and header.php that way any change that needs to be done can be done to these 2 files instead of changing all the files in the website

about the google analytics code after getting your response i want to add this google analytics code at the bottom of every page just before </body> tag this way each page's statistic details can be viewed by logging into google account


however since i want to have footer.php i want to include the footer links and then the google analytics code followed by </body></html> in footer.php

my question is if i were to do it this way, when google analytics javascript code which is only in 1 file footer.php though this file will be called in all other pages(about.php, services.php...) of the website as
include("footer.php");

will the analytics code still analyse traffic information for each and every page of the website(index.php, about.php, services.php ...)

please advice

thanks

Yes it will - the code will be run for every page in which the footer.php is included.

I agree with cheeseweasel.
