$category=$_REQUEST['category'];
$rssel = mysql_query(“SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE CategoryId=’$category’ AND Email=’$email’”);
if(mysql_num_rows($rssel) == 0)
{
mysql_query(“INSERT INTO mytable(CategoryId,Email) VALUES(‘$category’,'$email’)”);

But when we execute the page it does not replaces source with following code
echo “http://www.mydomain/images/calendar.gif”;

Kindly Help!!

Thanks in advance…

Using a *.php (or any script language) to track and then return an image is a definite no-no. Spam filters will pickup on this (web beacon) and slam you for it.

What you really want to do is use an http handler in a directory to catch *.gif/jpg calls and use the format something like _.gif. Then use the params in the name to tag the reader as opening a specific newsletter.

Honestly though… writing a newsletter delivery system is something best left to someone dedicated to the task ;o)
