Hi Tony, I'm not aware of PHP having any clipboard functionality, which makes sense when you think about it, since it's ordinarily run on the server, rather than on the client, and while it does have CLI capabilities, these don't appear to have been developed yet to cover specific desktop functions / capabilities such as manipulating the clipboard. I know from experience that Python (and perhaps Perl?) is able to access the clipboard, though, in case you want to investigate these. For myself, I use a freeware application called GrabCaptureScreen (http://www.grabcapturescreen.com/) to perform screen captures and save to filenames etc, and from there it should be a relatively simple process to store the images in your db table. Having said which, I would look at the possibility of simply storing the path/filename of the image in your table, with the images physically stored as files on your harddrive, rather than as binary objects in your db. Hope this helps, even if just a little.
