Webpage Snapshots

Hi,
Is there a way I can snapshot a page when the visitor clicks on submit? or is there a script I can use?

What do you mean by 'snapshot'? You mean screen shot? If so, not, not
natively through a browser. You'd have to use some 3rd part add-on compenent
that gets installed client-side.

yes a screenshot. Sorry I've been searching the net for different terms for the same thing, but still nothing useable.

I have had no luck with dompdf.

All I need to do is create a file, either a pdf or jpg to show me what the site user is seeing

I have gone back to using dompdf so far I have this:

Page 1 with submit button:
Once user has submitted it goes to page 2:

require_once("dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");
$width = 3.370 * 72.0; // Width in points (3.37" x 72 pt/in)
$height = 2.125 * 72.0; // Height in points (2.125" x 72 pt/in)
$size = array(0.0, 0.0, $height,$width);

if ( isset( $_POST["html"] ) ) {

if ( get_magic_quotes_gpc() )
$_POST["html"] = stripslashes($_POST["html"]);

$old_limit = ini_set("memory_limit", "16M");

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($_POST["html"]);
$dompdf->set_paper($size, "Landscape");
$dompdf->load_html($_REQUEST[html]);
$dompdf->render();

$dompdf->stream("businesscard.pdf");

exit(0);

}

Some how I need to pass the variable html as part of the form.

The script author emailed me saying:
Try calling load_html() only once with the full html document that you want
created as a business card. For example:

// clean input here
...

// Note you can include CSS and whatever markup you need in $html
$html = "<html><body>".
"<p>Name: " . $_POST["name"] . " </p> " .
"<p>Work Phone: " . $_POST["name"] . "</p>" .
...
"</body></html>";

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$width = 3.370 * 72.0; // Width in points (3.37" x 72 pt/in)
$height = 2.125 * 72.0; // Height in points (2.125" x 72 pt/in)
$size = array(0.0, 0.0, $height,$width);
$dompdf->set_paper($size);
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream();
...

But I have tried this for page 1 its doesnt seem to work, what am I doing wrong to get it working on separate pages?

You'd need to use software installed on their machine. Note that seeing an
end-user's screen is a gigantic security issue so any decent browser will
block any sort of attempt to do that automatically.

It looks like your method it attempting to emulate the end-user's settings
and then create a screen shot on the server?

That can be a bit risky as you have no idea if it truly is what the end-user
sees.

Can I ask what the ultimate goal of this is for? Maybe there's a better way
to go about it.

Yes, I see what you mean.
But I only want to see where the user is moving the DIV's on my website.

I have a website that designs business cards, the area of the business card has moveable DIV tags with text inside that gets added by a form on the left hand side of the webpage.

Because you can drag the DIV's I need to know which position they are in so when I get the pdf or jpg I can recreate it and sent it to print.

If you want my code I can email it to you

You could get the position of a div and pass it back to your server via
javascript. Upon submit, have a script find the location of each DIV and
then pass it back.

Out of curiosity, how are you translating the low resolution HTML of a web
page into a high resolution print file?

One thought would be to consider Flash. I believe Flash can export straight
to a vector file format and given that it's plug-in based, you can get a
much more consistent and accurate idea of the rendering.

To pass the values back to your PHP, you'll have to have your javascript
write the values to hidden form fields, and then grab the data from the form
fields server-side when the form posts.

Alternatively, you could use AJAX for this as well.

It's quite easy, but tedious.

Well, what you are doing here is rather unique. I've never heard of doing
this before. You could piece together scripts here and there. Again, though,
I don't think what you are trying to accomplish is going to be a very
accurate system no matter how much javascript you apply.

The catch is that you are asking people do visually design something in
their browser via HTML. But HTML does not render the same from browser to
browser, computer to computer, font settings to font settings, etc.

So that's why I had suggested flash, as that is accurate visually
cross-browsers and computers.

As for getting the position of elements on a page via javascript, this
shoudl get you started:

Thats great thank you for your help and advice.
I thought about using hidden fields but didn't know how I could implement them.

I have spend the last 2 hours amending and hacking away at my script. And I have finally got the values passed through.
Its not how I would like it but it works.
All the values get sent to my given email address then once that is done the user goes to the payment page which is connected to osCommerce
http://www.liquidprint.co.uk/cards/
if you want to have a look

Thanks again

I got a few run-time errors in IE. Impressive, though.

How would I go about creating an XML document that I can import to InDesign CS2?
I can link to InDesign.
But from the data submitted is it possible to output a XML file on the server?

Well, they are errors, so you'll want to fix them. In my browser, due to my
particular settings, it creates pop-up error messages for me.

So, you want the web page to visually create a layout that is then turned
into XML that it imported into InDesign?

This really seems like the long-way-round. I'll toss out the 'consider
flash' suggestion again as it'll be a more direct and accurate route from
what people see on screen to what you end up printing.

Yes, you can create an XML file via your PHP.
