Hey there everyone,

Class URL

I recently wrote a screenshot class, which (as you might expect) allows PHP to take screenshots providing their system all checks out.

Some parts of the code are fairly messy, and probably written when I was drunk, so I was just looking for some criticism (and even better, improvements) to the code.

And yes, I know some bits are (very) odd, but try not to hurt my feelings too much!

Anyway, the URL to the class is here: Class: Screenshot (internet, screenshot, explorer) - PHP Classes

Any advice at all is extremely welcome.

Thanks,

Dan

Nice Nottingham, eh? Whereabouts? I live in Long Eaton

I know you do

If you check your private messages from a long time back (if you still have them) you'll see we talked about it

Chilwell btw, very close.

Dan

it only works if you have IE, right?

I would say so, yes. The one I created a while ago used the IE COM component.

As does this one.

So...it basically sucks... A platform independent solution like browsrcamp.com would be fine, but an ActiveX solution...that doesn't really excite

Any browser with COM directive can be implemented, but since IE is build into Windows then its it nature to have a COM directive. If I don't remember wrong then other applications such as Photoshop, Office ect. have a COM directive aswell.

However I already guessed it was using the imagegrabwindow() / imagegrabscreen() functions, however they can be EXTREMELY slow and you will also need to grand your webserver permissions to interact with the desktop in services.msc

nice mate. I personally use the service over at bluga.net/webthumb/ .

Its powerful, and is rather cheap too.

Its nice seeing one of these in action though, even with its limitations.
