1x1px Image

[The Little Guy]

Right now I cannot thing of the name, but I can explain it... It is a transparent 1x1px image that is used to get information about someone (Who ever access it). Anyone know what they are called, and how I can use PHP to get the information? Anyone know of any tutorials that I could read up on on these?

It called a "webbug". Do a google search to find out more.

Thanks, but I don't know if it is just me, but I cannot find any help on webbugs, just information on what a webbug is.

For example:
When you send email to someone in html format and you want to know when they read your email.
You include
[code]<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/[email protected]" width=1 height=1 border=0>
[/code] in your html email.

"notify.php" contains:
[code]
<?php
// The message
$message = $_GET['emailto']."opened your email at ".date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

// Send
mail('[email protected]', $_GET['emailto'].' opened yoru email', $message);
?>
[/code]

something like this

OK... That makes it much easier, I was thinking It would be way more difficult.
