JoefromPhilly Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Greetings, I have an application that sends out personalized emails for my clients to their subscribers. I want to be able to tell them how many of these emails get opened. How do I embed some code in the email so that it forces a hit to the server and my mysql db to register when someone opens one of their emails? Thanks in advance for your help! - Joe Kamenar Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/108163-how-do-i-track-emails-that-my-php-application-sends-out/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkyIS Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 the way it is often done is by sending an html email that includes an img with a unique file name to identify the receiver. but this requires: 1. the receiver to allow html email and 2. the receiver to load the html. not nearly 100% effective, but better than nothing.

JoefromPhilly Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 I understand the general requirement, but specifically, what do I insert into the html version of the email that will actually do this? - Joe Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/108163-how-do-i-track-emails-that-my-php-application-sends-out/#findComment-554469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
