2 doesn't make sense. You could say "Would you mind if I opened the door?" to show youì're asking permission.

1 is making a request, not asking for permission.

You could put "please" at the end of sentence 1, but not at the end of 2.

Ms. Clare,

What is the difference between two sentences and right use of the word "please" there?
1) Would you mind opening the door?
2) Would you mind if you opened the door?

Please explain.

Rgds,
