can php copy a screen shot from a desktop to a folder on my web site?

[cheesywan]

I am at different computers during my work-day and would like to take a 'picture' of what I'm doing, this would help greatly with my short term memory loss. I suppose I could put these screen shots on to a flash drive but then I would have to remember where I put the drive. I have a personal web site with plenty of space.

Any thoughts on how this could work? Know of some existing code out there that could do this?

Thanks in advance.

i'm pretty sure PHP can take a screenshot of a website/page, but of a desktop, i don't think so.

 

PHP would need to be able to access your OS i'd think in order to grab a shot of whatever is on your screen at the time.

 

i know that spyware can do it.  would be a weird way of using it, but you could always setup a program that takes screenshots every x minutes and emails them to your email address.  could maybe mainpulate it to save to disk?

 

this is getting way of PHP though, but i know there are programs out there that can accomplish these kinds of things.  PHP on the other-hand, i don't think so.

You could do it if you set up a server on each computer you want to take screenshots of.  You'd also need a screenshot utility that could be ran through the command line.  A bit of Googling should turn one  up pretty quickly.
