I'm looking for a PHP developer to develop a script that will allow visitors to a Word Press blog to add their comments then add a URL string in a separate field. When the submit button is clicked the URL string needs to fetch a screen grab of the website (in the URL), resize it and intergrate into the post. Odviously error checking would need to be included to cater for the inability to retrieve the URL. All a bit vague but if you're interested, PM me. Thanks
I've done something similar to this before, and it's not something that JUST PHP can do, to my knowledge. The way I did it was to grab the URL from the submission form, then PHP shelled out to a perl script that launched mozilla on a Unix host, used xvfb to grab a screenshot of the running window, dumped that to a file, then used GD to crop and resize the image to fit. It wasn't an easy task for me to do without a guideline, so hopefully this helps.
