Hi,

My website is working fine but when I add Google Analytics code between <header> and </header> tags and then website goes down.

header.tpl
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>


<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-11468xxxx-1"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());

gtag('config', 'UA-11468xxxx-1');
</script>

Google Analytics Code

<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-11468xxxx-1"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());

gtag('config', 'UA-11468xxxx-1');
</script>

Website Error
[24-Feb-2018 00:58:01 America/New_York] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty Compiler: Syntax error in template "/home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/tmpl/header.tpl" on line 9 "function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}" - Unexpected ".", expected one of: "}" <--
thrown in /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/inc/libs/smarty3/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php on line 9

I am not developer of this script but this script is working 100% perfect without Google Analytics code. So when I add Google Analytics code then site goes down.

How to solve this error, help me please?

Place every foreign snippet into a separate template, wrapped into {literal}'s when necessary.
And {include} them from main template.
You can set a fixed cache_id to them to indicate that they can be heavily cached with little to no sideeffects.
