What should my header.php look like?

[ronronmx]

Hi,
I have been doing some research on the board about including a custom header, and i found a couple threads that helped me get started. But i am not sure i'm doing this right, so let me try to explain!

I want to include my Joomla dynamic header, here's the index.php code that generates it:

Code Select Expand

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-4494577-2");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>

<!-- end header -->

I tried to put that code in my header.php file ( I removed all the "head" and "body" tags ) but I keep getting different syntax errors because I am not sure how to start the file, do I first put "<?php" at the beginning and end it with "?>" or use the "<<<EOT" text or is it something else? I am very new to php, so i am lost....

So i would like to know what my header.php file would look like with the above code inserted in it the right way? Because the only way i was able to get it to work was by inserting the "Generated source code" i got by viewing my page's source, but i don't think this is the right way, am i right?

Wishful thinking. You can't simply grab code from Joomla and stick it in Coppermine like that.

That's what i'm starting to figure out 
Can it be done, or should i just forget it, being a noob and all?
