Hi


I need to  create thumbnail images from HTML on the fly in php

The HTML is stored in database not the URL

I have scripts in php which creates thumbnails of websites by providing their URL but here I need to provide the HTML


can any one from this group help me or provide some reference sites

A possible solution would be to save the html to a string & write the
string to a file on the server.
Then point your PHP Script to the file.

Do let me know if it works.

My PHP experience is just a few days old...So excuse me if that's a
stupid idea. ;-)

The best solution I find is :

I converted the HTML file to PDF then used image magik  to get the thumbnail of the PDF Document.

Here is the code:

function convertPDFIntoImages($filePath, $FileId, $wwwpath="")
{
    $cmd = "convert ".$filePath."/".$FileId.".pdf"." ".$filePath."/page".$FileId."_%d.jpg";
    //echo '<br>'.$cmd.'<br>';
    //die;
    system($cmd);
   
}
 
convertPDFIntoImages('/home/qaziumar/public_html/imagick/examples', 'CTS', $wwwpath="");
