Hello, I’m new to these forums, I’m also fairly new to PHP and I was wondering if it is possible to make a PHP script that can create a screen shot of a website; preferably above the fold of the page? This screen shot would then save a thumb and full size jpg/gif inside a folder on the server.

There are several hosted application like that already, though for the life of me I can't remember a one of them. Try searching this forums for 'screenshot' or something along those lines and see what you get. This has been talked about before in this community.
Yea, I searched Google to. I’m finding allot of posts saying that this cannot be done in PHP. I didn’t think this would be difficult to do but I guess it is…good idea though.

Browsershots! I could not remember that for the life of me. And I believe what you have read is correct. PHP cannot do what you want it to. I could be wrong, but I remember this discussion from before and it didn't end to the original posters liking.
I have DD linux server w/ root access. Maybe there is some program i could install on my box for this. I'm going to look at the links posted above see if i can find anything.
