Google analytics vendor for symfony2

Server-Side Google Analytics PHP Client

Important

This package is directly based on this project from UnitedPrototype : http://code.google.com/p/php-ga/, _(*1)

This package is aimed at using php-ga in symfony 2 as a vendor and a service., _(*2)

Summary :

"ga.js in PHP" - Implementation of a generic server-side Google Analytics client in PHP that implements nearly every parameter and tracking feature of the original GA Javascript client., _(*3)

We love Google Analytics and want to contribute to its community with this PHP client implementation. It is intended to be used stand-alone or in addition to an existing Javascript library implementation., _(*4)

It's PHP, but porting it to e.g. Ruby or Python should be easy. Building this library involved weeks of documentation reading, googling and testing - therefore its source code is thorougly well-documented., _(*5)

The PHP client has nothing todo with the Data Export or Management APIs, although you can of course use them in combination., _(*6)

Requirements

Requires PHP 5.3 as namespaces and closures are used. Has no other dependencies and can be used independantly from any framework or whatsoever environment., _(*7)

Installation :

In your deps file :, _(*8)

[php-ga]
    git=http://github.com/t0k4rt/Symfony2GoogleAnalyticsVendor.git

Update your vendors :, _(*9)

php bin/vendors

Update your autoload.php file :, _(*10)

$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    ...
    'GoogleAnalytics'         => __DIR__.'/../vendor/php-ga/src',
    ...
));

In your config.yml / config_dev.yml / config_prod.yml :, _(*11)

To use this as a service add the following lines, _(*12)

parameters:
    php_ga.class:      GoogleAnalytics\Tracker
    php_ga.accountID:  UA-12345678-9
    php_ga.domain:  yourwebsite.com

services:
    php_ga:
        class:        %php_ga.class%
        arguments:    [ %php_ga.accountID% , %php_ga.domain% ]

In your bundle :, _(*13)

You now can include the class in your controller, _(*14)

use googleanalytics;
