does any one know of or recommend any Click tracking or heat map generation - open source php based software ?

A:
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.

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.
