Request Website Thumbnail Generator

Looking for a good tutorial to allow me to generate a thumbnail of a website.

Example: if you hover over a link on the iwebtool forum. http://talk.iwebtool.com/thread10001.html

Cheers

 

you have many choice :

you can use iwebtool : http://thumbnails.iwebtool.com/

for windows hosting u can use : http://www.zubrag.com/scripts/website-thumbnail-generator.php (Script available)

http://bluga.net/webthumb/api.txt

ruby : http://snippets.dzone.com/tag/webthumbs

 

Is there any PHP Script which generates website thumbnail and save it to disk. I had posted similar thread at v7n but could not find any solution there. I hope that somebody at DP will help me and richbate.

 

Thanks for the links comandos.. im just looking for a tutorial on how to write one myself.. I'm building a link directory (How origional) and i want to allow premium members to have a small screenshot of their site in a small 75 x 75 box to the left of their listing.

I know its possible to do it by uploading a photo.. but i want to save the user time and have it generated itself.

 

It would be extremely difficult to do solely in PHP unless you use an external service. My personal preference for the external service would be web thumb as posted by commandos.

You have more options though if you use a dedicated server. For example - http://khtml2png.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=download

 

if you want a simple thumbnail-generating PHP class, let me know...
