save printscreen?

[ThomasJSmart]

there is this very usefull button on my keyboard called "prnt scrn" it makes a copy of the current screen and saves it to memory as an image, i can then paste this image into a grfx program and save it

is it possible to get make a screengrab and save it in one swift automatic action using a php/gdlib script?

thanks,

Are you talking about from a web site? No. PHP runs on the server, not on the client.

There might be a way to do it using Java or JavaScript generated by PHP, but that then would be a Java or JavaScript question.

To make the "Print Screen" key do what you want to do is going to take some very tricky client-side programming. This is definately outside the realm of PHP scripting.
