Pierre shows you how to get a screen-shot of a site using PHP and GD2 on Windows. The examples he’s presented shows you how to get a screen shot of IE, and goes on to show how to get a site loaded into IE and capture the screen only after the page loads completely on the browser.
This method can be used to capture any kind of window.

Have you come across any method that works on a Unix server? There seem to be some ways to hook up with Mozilla code to generate a screenshot.

Just like creating a COM IE object in Windows, can we create a mozilla instance and navigate to the website? But the possibility relies on imagegrabwindow($handle, 0) will work on linux or not, I guess?
