Web Page Screenshots with PHP?

Question

I know there is not a direct way to take a screen shot of a web page with PHP. What would be the most straightforward way to accomplish this? Are there any command line tool

Answer 1

See webkit2png for an OSX commandline program that does this.

The page also mentions Linux alternatives.

[edit]: wkhtml2image is the newest kid in town, and it works better then anything else i've ever used.

[edit2]: As of 2014, PhantomJS seems to be the way to go, as it has the newest webkit version of the alternatives I know about.

[edit3]: In 2019, Puppeteer is the way to go. Official headless chrome, always up to date.
