It's entirely feasible to create an HTML/CSS parser in PHP that would be able to create "screenshots" of images, but as far as I know, it's never been done before. There are, however, commandline tools that can do it and can be executed by PHP using exec, which I think is how sites like WebThumb work.
my friend has a script that generates pdf files from a given html site. it's not print screen dump kind of screen shot, but more like converting line after line of html. do you accept that, is that good for you?
You haven't really asked a complete question, and I suspect you might even be having some fun with us, but I'll answer anyway. First of all, you are in the PHP forum, which is probably not where you want to be. Anyway, if you just want to create a screenshot from a web site you are visiting on your personal computer, which is what I think you are asking, you simply browse to the page you want the screenshot of, and hit the ALT and PrtScn (print screen) buttons together--this will put a screen image of the browser window in the Clipboard, which you can paste in just a moment. Then open a graphics editor (like photoshop) and paste the Clipboard into an open window. BAM! you got a screen shot, which you can resize.
It is possible, but you need a windows server that allows com with php. If your linux server has a gui installed, it might be possible.
He was not kidding. He meant the automation process not the ALT printscreen. He wants to make a website such as thumbshots.org i guess.
Sorry But i dont need for my pc :| i need some php code which browses the given url (like we do in curl) and take a screen shot and save tis the resource variable and all should be server side ....clearly saying the code working like http://www.thumbshots.org/
Perfectly possible using the GD libary http://blog.thepimp.net/archives/Screen-capture-with-PHP-and-GD.html
