RE: [PHP] Automatically creating an image of another website

Hamid Thanks for the reply. I was told that using html2ps and ps2gif via php pipes (if that's the right word) would let php go to a site and "browse" the page, print it off as postscript and then convert the postscript file to a gif. not sure if that is possible which is why I posted to the list. Any suggestions would be appreciated! :) Ade > -----Original Message----- > From: Hamid Hossain [mailto:hamidhossain@hotmail.com] > Sent: 14 July 2003 18:05 > To: adrian@justcompete.com > Subject: Re: [PHP] Automatically creating an image of another website > > > > using GD functions you will be able to create images from the scratch or > from other images, but not a screenshot.
