Subject: RE:  Create a screenshot of a website



Hi,

If a windows web server is being used, we've had very good results with
the
activex control (use via COM within PHP5) from
http://www.acasystems.com/en/web-thumb-activex/

The developer is very responsive to bug reports / feature suggestions.
Full
PHP example code is given for all functions as well.

Now this is truly interesting, is there any particular reason it works only
with windows web server? Any chance it could be somehow integrated via VM
Virtual Images if the reason is driven Internet Explorer?

Regards

That is a question you'd have to ask the developer I'm afraid. The only PHP
compatible interface is COM (which I'm pretty sure is windows only), so
you'd need to be running PHP on windows (IIRC).

It would be possible to have a linux webserver that uses a windows VM proxy webserver to facilitate the COM request. This is not entire absurd since generation of website screenshots can be quite processor intensive so it might work well split it off to it's own machine (virtual or physical).

Cheers,
Rob.
