Google analytics - PHP

I’ve used google analytics several times before very successfully.

However I have just set up a new account and want to apply it to a new .php site I have designed.

I noticed if you want to track .php pages it says…

For any PHP pages, put the following code in a file (for example, analyticstracking.php) and upload it to your site. Then, add the following line to each template page immediately after the opening tag: <?php include_once("analyticstracking.php") ?>

Is this correct or can I still place the code generated in Page - HTML Markup - Before

Will this work for .php sites?

If someone can please clarify that would be great

Does anyone have any knowledge of this?

This seems silly. I use GA for some of my sites, both heavy PHP and
Rails, and we just use the regular GA tracker code. The only thing I
could imagine that you might need to add some extra help for is if
your page URLs aren’t search-engine friendly, but what are you doing
tracking pages.php?a=2&b=4&z=231 for anyway? You could just as easily
twist that URL into /pages/fiction/sally/why-i-love-the-winter.html
