    I need to install some tracking pixel code for one of my checkout systems.

    This is the sample code for calling the tracking pixel

    <script src="https://xxxxxx.com/i_third_sale/xxxxxx/406/ORDER_AMOUNT/ORDER_NUMBER/EMAIL_ADDRESS"></script> 
<noscript><IMG SRC="https://xxxxxx.com/i_sale/xxxxxx/406/ORDER_AMOUNT/ORDER_NUMBER/EMAIL_ADDRESS"></noscript>
    HTML:
    Now my question is that I would like to dynamically create the data that needs to be in these URL's using PHP. Can I do a <script src="$script_src"></script>... I know PHP doesnt tend to play well with javascripts sometimes so I'm just wondering if this concept will even work.

    Thanks.

    simply create an element e.g. <div></div> and insert the script from within the php.

    Ok this actually turned out to be super simple...

    Here is the following code which works as needed.

    $script_src = "https://xxxxxx.com/i_third_sale/xxxxxx/406/ORDER_AMOUNT/ORDER_NUMBER/EMAIL_ADDRESS";
echo <<<html
<script src="$script_src"></script>
html;
    PHP:
