there are
2 functions that may work
[man]imagegrabscreen[/man] ( This function is only available on Windows. )
[man]imagegrabwindow[/man] ( Note: This function is only available on Windows. )

I do not know anything of these.

I wonder how they do this:

Here is a link to a Linux script. I have never used it, but it may be worth looking into... Be advised this has other requirements so you may need to get some help from your host (if they're willing to add packages not already installed).

Odds are sites that offer this service use a custom built non web service that captures that information and feeds it to web server requests. PHP cannot read the client information since it's server side. There are a few classes out there that turn HTML into PDF's somehow, that might be of some use.
