My company researched on the topic sometime back. We even did a test run (on our local machines where there are no user restrictions set). The machine running this will need IE 5.x or above and another software (um... forgot its name) that uses this IE engine to capture whatever IE see into an .jpg file. We then copy this jpeg file and generate thumbnails using the GD library.
Since we tried this only on our local machines, we are not sure if we would be able to install a third party software on a server (unless it was dedicated). Anyways this was just done in some free time, so we never really pursued the matter any further. - Sid > -----Original Message----- > From: olinux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, February 22, 2003 12:25 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP] dynamic website screenshot/screen capture > > Hi all - > While I know that this is not possible with PHP alone, > Does anyone know how to capture website screen shots > using PHP.
