Is it possible to capture web pages by using PHP?

I am not sure whether PHP will support such technology.

But you can use image capturing tool like snagit which will do the same thing for you.

You can directly capture the entire webpage image. There are other tools also which will do the same kind of things, but the best among all of those is snagit.

If you want the entire webpage to be downloaded in the format like the same webpage format you can do that by using Website ripper tools which will allow you to download the entire website.

It is the advanced tool which will allow you to download the entire website.

There are few more tools like offline browser which will also server the same thing.
