I have a website that hosts content in English and in German: www.mysite.com. I bought a new domain with the same name (www.mysite.de) so that it would redirect to the German content on mysite.com. Here is what I have in the index page on mysite.de:
<?php
header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/index.php?la=de");
exit;
?>
How do I track my Google analytics on mysite.de, before it redirects? I have the Google analytics script, but don't know where to put it.

By sending the Location: header, you instantly redirect your viewer to a different website. My suggestion is to read up on the Refresh: header, show him some information like "You'll be redirected in 5 seconds, if it didn't happen, click here" and in the meantime, also display him the HTML code of the script.

`header("Location: ")` doesn't terminate the page, therefore the script can be added also when there's `Location` - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3553698/php-should-i-call-exit-after-calling-location-header – Nikola Feb 03 '14 at 16:16

Yes, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the browser trying to optimize the process somehow, not even trying to pull the script. – d33tah Feb 03 '14 at 16:17
