    i think this question should be re-opened or moved to another stack exchange because it has value as well as the potential for more good answers as more mouse tracking software emerges. – cwd Jun 04 '12 at 16:52

I'd recommend click heat, because I don't know anything else. Also it perfectly meets all your requirements (open source + PHP).

  • In theory. You can decide wheter you want to track clicks by page url or page title. Just be aware that it's going to create a seperate directory for every distinct page. Personally I wouldn't use the tool on production sites (maybe only for a limited ammout of time), but it's certainly very cool. – svens Oct 02 '10 at 10:39
  • why is that u wouldnt use it production site. since thats where u will actually get live stats. if there is any other way or tool please share it with us. – Harsha M V Oct 02 '10 at 11:27
  • I've never seen any similar tool sorry. The thing is, that with every click on your page, it will call a PHP script on the server. Maybe I should've said busy sites instead of production sites, it causes quite some overhead on sites with a lot of concurrent users. If it's a problem, check out the performance tab on their site, someone coded a script which allows you to generate the stats from the log (of a special static site), however dunno if it works. – svens Oct 02 '10 at 19:56
