Gayner Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Like is there a php function that would let me grab a certain image or take a image of a website then echo it back out on my site as a .jpg image? Will this be possible in the near future as php coders become better? or is there a way I can make it do 5215x2312 on the screen, so my php script connects to that website url i put and goes to that DIRECTION And take a snapshop then comes and echo's it out as any filetype image so my users can see?

corbin Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 What he means is why in the world would the PHP devs add that feature? It could technically be possible with imagegrabscreen and a COM object on Windows.... But it would still be kind of funky.

Garethp Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 My point is that it's an idea with no practicle use, that would exist for no real purpose. There's no reason developers would waste their time on that Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/177244-i-want-to-grab-a-specific-pixel-from-another-website/#findComment-934779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
