using analytics in php

How do i put the google analytics code into my forum homepage, it uses php and google says use it in a comman include or template. Not sure how to do this - can anybody help?

Thanks

 

Google is suggesting you to put this code in common page like connection file which is used in all the pages of your site so that all the pages of your site will be tracked.

If you want to track only homepage then you can put the code at the end of the homepage.

That's It!!

Nothing to confused about this.

 

I put it in my footer include so it goes on every visible page

 

Yes, the code is in my footer on my site.

 

I advise you put in the footer!
