Capture/create an image from an image that is not an image

Confused?  From time to  time I have need to utilize a chart 'image'. Unfortunately, the chart 'image' is generated on the fly by the web page and as such is not displayed in a standard image format.

I have searched extensively through classes tutorials etc and have had no lock. 'Scraping' does not seem to be the solution. I can recreate the generated 'image' but not as a 'savable image file'.

I was wondering if there might be a method through 'php that could help.

example of the html used to display the chart...

[code]
<img id="dlchrtimg" src="http://data.moneycentral.msn.com/scripts/chrtsrv.dll?symbol=VLO&E1=0&C1=3&C2=0&C3=6&C4=2&E8=1&D5=0&D2=0&D4=1&width=306&height=129&CE=0" />[/code]

Thanks,

Nick...
