trq Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 You could probably do something with ffmpeg called through exec but not pure php. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72266-get-screenshot/#findComment-364752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 that is overkill the swf have frames, it is simply a snap shot of a certain frame in the swf, then that data is stored as a png/gif/jpg I dont know the exact manner of doing it, but needless to say you will need to have some sort of swf interrupter to handle this that can read out a certain frame and capture the graphical output. That or just do em by hand with photoshop and that handy prtsc button. Fyi your server most likely can not run a prtSc as it probably doesn't have any graphical interface to interrupt graphics, your server is a chuck of plastic and silicon in some far off bunker that runs through 1,0 all day long, waiting to be abused by you and your visitors.

micah1701 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 i'm not sure php could do this - afterall, PHP can't display and SWF file and, since PHP runs server side, how could it possible take a screenshot of what the browser outputs? why not just hit "print screen" and crop it in photoshop Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72266-get-screenshot/#findComment-364827 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooldude832 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 like I said earlier you will need to know the strucutre of the swf files and simple find 3 graphic outputs you like and use them.

SammyGunnz Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Basically, you can't do this with PHP alone. Or even Javascript, for that matter. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72266-get-screenshot/#findComment-364947 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooldude832 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 fyi read my sig, if you are not willing to be helped, or be nice about it, then don't expect an answer, we provided you with ideas, however the sepcifics is a detailed solution that invovles work, pushing the keys to make a script, not what we are here to do.

trq Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Did you bother to check out ffmpeg? Im quite sure it would be capable of said task. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72266-get-screenshot/#findComment-365118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpSensei Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 I look 6 hours straight into ffmpeg and i still have no clue on how to use it. This is so frustrating. Isnt there a script you can just copy paste to do this? like a javascript that gets the frame of the swf, then saves that frame into a png, then exports it to dir? Please, please i need this by next week. Please help me, please!!!
