How to set custom client ID?

    Hi everybody,

    I was wondering how it is possible to specify a custom ClientID

    My users first have to register and next on my thankyou page the user has a unique Id assigned to him. like this: http://mysite.com/thankyou/index.php?guid=6C9CF45A-D316-41EA-92B0-B6FD078077CC
    At this point I want to store this GUID from the url as the ClientId of the user. How do I do this?
    I tried with this code:
    First I grabbed the id from the url
    <?php
    $guid     = $_GET['guid'];?>

    and then I added this into the GA script:
    ga('create','UA-42733428-1',{'clientId':'<?php echo $guid; ?>'});

    However this seems not to be working, as I don't see the id appear in the GA cookie.

    Thank you!

    Encode it with JSON then output it into the Javascript.
