Hi
Im looking for a browser compatable and stable method for taking an image of a website and displaying it on my website.
For example, someone submits a link and then another person visits the page and sees there website information and an image of the site itself.
Perhaps like a large thumbnail preview or something like this?
Any ideas / limitations / experiences ?
Anything would be appreciated!
Many thanks
yeah i get what you mean dude like, the facebook share link, when you attach a link a small thumbnail of the site wil be displayed. i dont know that but i know how to get site contents and convert it so string.
<?php
echo file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/');
?>YES! Exactly like that! Infact I need to know how that works! :P
Im not sure file_get_contents is what Im looking for. Doesn't it just embed the actual website into my page rather than get a screenshot.
Thanks for the reply
