Bug

I was just looking through google about this function imagegrabscreen() and I thought Id sign up on this forum to mention that there are potential security risks in activating the "Allow service to interact with desktop". As far as Im aware this is only available for windows servers and since I only have access to a shared Unix server from my host I cant test the theory. However M$ do advise strongly that this service never be used!

Id rather mention it than not as I was quite excited at the idea of being able to capture the screens of visitors... Then I thought some more... isnt this a break in some privacy law (UK / US)???

Anyway, cant test it so unsure on what exactly can be produced.

Kind regards
Dal
PS: didnt this thread start of with something completely different???
