Dear All,

Great... 

I would like to thank each and every one for their wonderful
solution(s) regarding my analysis. 

I guess I can go for image concept. Anyway i am going to use the offer
image so that the customer(s) would be curios to see the offer.. :)

Code Added :
'<img
src="http://911inks.com/email_opened.php?sent_date='.date("d/m/Y").'&cust_id='.$s_customers_id.'">'
