Dynamic Image Generation from HTML

[nerogtr]

I am new to dymanic image generation, and from tutorials I have learned the basics (like how to create an image from text, or overlay text over an image). However, I was wondering if there was a way to generate an image based on an external HTML, PHP, or XML page. If anyone knows how please let me know.

[man]fopen/man
[man]file_get_contents/man
etc....
etc....

??

what would the next step from there be?

you need to create a basic image in which to overlap the text you want using gd commands
