How can you render and save a web page as an image in PHP, probably with a width of 600px. How can I render a page in PHP without using a browser? How can I save it with a given resolution and image format (jpeg)? The functionality is similar to Google Preview, except it will not be displayed in a rollover.
Similar to this question, which is answered in C#. How to save a web page as image
Thanks!

The imagecreate() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to create a new image. This function returns the blank image of given size. In general imagecreatetruecolor() function is used instead of imagecreate() function because imagecreatetruecolor() function creates high quality images.
Creating the Image The first thing the code does is to call the imagecreate() function with the dimensions of the image, namely its width and height in that order. This function returns a resource identifier for the image which we save in $my_img . The identifier is needed for all our operations on the image.
To embed a PHP-generated image in an HTML page, pretend that the PHP script that generates the image is actually the image. Thus, if we have image1. php and image2. php scripts that create images, we can modify the previous HTML ...
PHP is not limited to creating just HTML output. It can also be used to create and manipulate image files in a variety of different image formats, including GIF , PNG , JPEG , WBMP , and XPM .
You should get wkhtmltoimage, which is very easy to utilize from within PHP:
exec("../wkhtmltoimage --crop-w 600 http://example.com/ output.png");
There are other options, and instead of --crop-w or --width 600 it might be better to downscale it using GD or imagemagick afterwards.
