HI all, But what my requirement here is, I need to display the website configured on our server. No matter where the domain actually points to :) Perhaps it can call a proxy....here is the actual intention of creating this script. Suppose X created a new website on serverA, but the domain actually pointing to ServerB. So to test his new website on ServerA, he either has to edit "hosts" file or use serverA/~user. I don't want him not to use either method. I would like to provide him a PHP feature on my control panel says "site preview" through which he can view his website on serverA. Its just like a website preview option in plesk control panel :) On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 1:25 AM, Simon Schick <simonsimcity@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>wrote: > Hi, Ashley > > The question is what this function does ;) > I think it really takes a screenshot of the server - whatever is shown > there right now.
