Anyone know of a PHP script that - GoFuckYourself.com

Dynamix · 02-02-2005, 01:25 AM

Takes a screenshot of your web site - live, then saves it as a thumbnail using ImageMagick or a similar library? My old host had it in their control panel so I know it's doable, just not sure if its possible to do server-side without actually opening a browser window and taking a snapshot on the server.

If anybody knows how this can be done or if it has publicly lemme know.

Thanks

exactly how would you like a server-side script to take a screenshot of something rendered on the client end?

maybe this is something

you would have to code an entire web browser to render the code into presentational format... then you would have save the output to file... then resize it...

it can't be done practically

That's just hotlinking the thumbshots.org cache... I thought they only captured sites that were in DMOZ?

I was just about to post that - AdamQ is correct in that it won't capture what I need it to.
