php,javascript, anything..

Ive seen screen shot programs done in VB, it was up on planetsourcecode.com

There is most likely alot of API involved.

i just want it to take a screen shot, and then id use php to upload it to my site, so people could invade my privacy...

i really dont want to manually take the screen shot, just for it to run in the tray and take it

I dunno if PHP itself can take a screen shot since its server side. But you could have a PHP page that would upload a new pict every 5 mins. You can do this by a loop that never ended, or by meta tag refresh.

Like i said you could have a VB program take a SS for you, then have php upload it to your server. You could even have Vb upload it for your also.

i was planning on making it refresh; and just FTPing it, i just needed a small script to take the screen shot, I'll probably just go download a simple one and run it in task manager

No, no, no.

You could also bang your head against your bedroom wall for an hour every morning after you wake up, but I do not recommend it.

cron is your friend. Learn it. Use it. Love it.
