Is there a way to capture a snapshot of a html page and save it as a jpg using php?
     
This is something that's very very hard to do with PHP but can be easily done with Java.
I would guess the easiest way would be to find some external program that retrieves the page and then renders to an image file. I don't offhand the names of any utils that do this, but I'm sure there must be at least /one/ available! if you're feeling extremely ambitiious, how about taking the gecko source and rendering the result to a PDF or JPG file instead of the screen? come on guys get with it.
