How would one go about tracking an email with a 1x1 transparent gif. I need to track email opens and not really the clicks. Any idea where i can get the script and how it can be acheived?

I think he means putting a 1x1 transparent gif into an email, and then when that picture gets viewed, it notifies him that the email was opened. It would need to be a new unique picture each time, I never even thought of that kind of system until just now.

well instead of posting any picture in email,place the link of some picture source and place a counter at that source.so when any one opens the email picture will be shown from ur source and u can easily check how many time it has been viewed.

you can check html syntax of that ,i think its [img src=".......

something like that

Should work, however this method is normally blocked by email clients (they don't load images in emails automatically).

Code:
<img scr="http://www.example.com/track.php?key=value" height="1px" width="1px" />
you need also to make track.php post data for a real image of size 1x1 px
this is to avoid having X mark shown in the place of img code.

I'm going to suggest the following as it is the easiest, with the least amount of coding on your part:
1) make an E-mail account where you want to keep track of the visits,
2) In the email put in <img src="http://www.example.com/track.php">
3) Make the file name "track.php" and inside it input the following
PHP Code:
<?php 
$ip 
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 
$to "youremail@address.com";
$subject "IP";
$message "IP:" $ip;
mail($to,$subject,$message);
?>
4) You can tell from how many E-mails you receive, how many visits you have gotten, and for more information it will also be emailing you the IP address. For obvious reasons, email clients aren't going to allow for you to have some sort of script (especially like this) that sends you information from an E-mail, because if that was possible, it'd be just as easy to UPLOAD information (such as a virus) into the E-mail. Therefore you're going to need the person to click on a link.
Good luck!
