PHP Website Screenshots [UNRESOLVED]

Is it possible for PHP to do this:

I can get PHP to Spider the website, ( http://gamercard.xbox.com/ninedogger.card )
BUT: how can I Take that HTML output (minus all the background and stuff....I need just the table there) and convert it into a jpg?

the website mygamercard.net seems to be able to do this..although i don't know there methods


i am just curious before I go all out and make a raw php image and just pull the information and "repaint" it onto the main image...if you know what i mean

needs to be dynamic and automatic

pretty simple. it got all the details and then made them into a picture (any format) using GD library.

are you sure it is possible have never come across any script or tutorial on how to do such a thing with html.

 

[asgsoft]

yes search for tutorials on php+gd

 

[Peter]

it's not just a case of using php and GD, html would have to be converted to something that gd understands.

If you know any scripts or tutorials that do this feel free to share but I have never came across anything like this and I have searched for quite a long time.

 

[asgsoft]

well are u trying to keep the formatting? if so i don't know how, otherwise there is a function that gets rid of tags.

I beleive what he is trying to do is basically is creating a thumb nail of the web page much like Alexa has. The thumbnail shows it as it would display in the browser.

Removing html tags has nothing to do with doing this.
