Help with PHP Web Bug?

REQUIRED:
Hello, I need to make a web bug for either a .gif or a .png image, whichever is easier to do. Is it possible to make a web bug to grab the IP address and time-stamp of anyone who views it and make a log? Does the image have to be on my own web site or can I upload it to another site for it to work? Where will the log be kept? I have never done this before, so please be very specific and explain as much as possible for BEST ANSWER.

OPTIONAL:
If possible, I would like it to keep a log on a remote location from my computer, that I can access over the internet. However, I do not want for advertising sites to have easy access to the data collected.

For those of you who are paranoid, please know that I am planning on using this bug to find out everything about you so I can sell it to the FBI (just kidding, I'm actually using it to ensure that my clients have read a certain report _on time_, which is why it would be helpful if it is not required to be on my own web-page, so that I do not need to rewrite the document or learn how to make a web-page or purchase a domain)
Thanks in advance, David
 
I'm no expert in php but I do use a lot of php programs.

phpbb3 has an admin feature which lets you see the I.P/date/time a person viewed a particular page. Might be an idea to download it & copy the code from there. It is open source so there would be no legal issues doing it.

I imagine the place you want to look would be index.php
