Does anyone know how I can make a php script take a snap shot of a specified website, and save it as about 200x200 png, or jpg? I know I could use websnapr, but I was wanting something that would run on my own server. Thanks! Joel
Well you could just download the images from amazon or websnapr, set the script with fsock to download the image and resize it with GD image functions. Here's a script for it anyways, http://www.zubrag.com/scripts/website-thumbnail-generator.php Requires server access, you'll need to install some mods on your server that'll help it take the pictures.
I didn't know amazon did that. Websnapr seems to take too long to snap the images. I have looked at http://www.zubrag.com/scripts/website-thumbnail-generator.php, but I doesn't work on a unix server.
Why don't you try ThumbShots? http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url=YOUR_URL e.g http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url=http://forums.digitalpoint.com
