Take A Web Page's Picture

    Would I be able to use some sort of PHP code and database to in essence take a web pages picture and display it inside the current window as say... a jpg?

    I'm not sure if this is totally clear. But what I am going for similar to what a site like alexa does when they list a site, the small thumbnail of the home page is listed beside this.

    So along that idea, but be able to view the whole web page just as it would appear if you were on that page, but obviously it wouldn't be functional, it would just be the image (what it looks like).

    Very similar to how a proxy works, is what the goal would be. How you type int he website where you want to go and it goes there, within the proxy. But it would take the snap shot picture of the site you enter, with my site that has the PHP code.


    Thanks guys, and sorry for maybe not being as clear as I should.

    Travis
