I'm trying to put screenshots of websites as thumbnails on my site. I want to get the current screenshot of the site so people can see what is exactly happening on the site.
Basically they type any site url into a text box, and will be able to see the screenshot (as a thumbnail) of the site. Any way to do this purely with html or php?

This wouldn't work on shared hosting.
