    I was wondering how if it is possible in a PHP to do the following:

    1) Have a box where the user enters their website address, then clicks submit
    2) This brings up a page with the following:
    - A screenshot of their site (maybe from Alexa)
    - The site title
    - The site ranking
    - The site description and keywords taken from the META or some other way.

    The number 2 parts I want to know how are they possible in PHP, if so, how to go about doing them.
     
    If someone posts a solution, use the "Best Answer" link in their post to pick it as the best answer.

    its possible and easy...

    use fopen to read the site

    use preg_match to find title/desc/keys

    Alex image (it seems that they locked auto imaging, so you need to access the site and download the image the same way above).

    site ranking -> which search engine?

    Peace,

    That is a good idea to use the Alexa screenshot option - you couldn't directly generate a screenshot of a website from PHP alone, quite impossible.

    There must be some kind of program that will allow you to do it via a linux box.
