This isn't possible via PHP, you'd have to trigger a system event to open a browser and take a screenshot or have service installed on a machine specifically aimed at doing this.. It's a lot more involved than coding something up in PHP.

  • Thanks tom... But in my case i can't use third party web services nor command line programs. I have to code by myself, how much time it takes ??? – Fazal Mar 29 '12 at 05:15
  • Creating all of these things yourself just isn't feasible, you'd need a strong knowledge in other areas such as a C based language. Or you can focus on using something like http://php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php for executing command line via PHP. I'd then recommend looking at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/125951/command-line-program-to-create-website-screenshots-on-linux in an attempt to replicate via PHP. – Tom Mar 30 '12 at 02:15
