really, you show me an interstitial on scriptygoddess?

Another one of these nasty, link-breaking redirectors that "lets surfers monetize their links" eh?

 

I have not idea what you mean by that

 

check http://www.zubrag.com/scripts/website-thumbnail-generator.php

but its script for WIN platform only.

 

website thumb generation will only work on the php hosted on a windows server i will say to search in phclasses

 

As far as I know, he is right. Only Windows servers can generate screenshots by now.

 

AFAIK thumbnails are generated in PHP using internet explorer so it wouldn't work on linux webhosting.

 

That's not necessarily true. You can get browser shots from all sorts of browsers and different versions. Check out Browser Shots

 

JayDesigns you gotta ask the http://browsershots.org guys to share the source code with you

 

haha I doubt they'd do that

 

You need a dedicated server or a VPS.

Then you can do it using linux or windows, but you need the ability to install the browser and extensions.
