How to capture sceenshot of URL request with POST data in PHP

Question

I use PHP script to send POST DATA variables to URL and then URL responses a HTML string. How can I capture screenshot of HTML string above as it's displayed on browser. It is the best solution if i don't need send 2 POST requests, one for HTML content and one for screenshot.

UPDATE: add more information. My website crawls html content from other website (by sending POST data to it and then get its response). It is only a string of HTML. Beside, I want to get a screenshot of this response that it's shown on browser as what end-user can see. All action is done in server-side.

You cannot capture a screenshot with `php` alone. You'd need some kind of plugin such as `wkhtmltopdf`. — AnchovyLegend, Oct 16 '14 at 17:10
I'm very confused. What do you want to do? Could you please specify your question? — Marcus Rommel, Oct 16 '14 at 17:11

The best way to do that is to capture through javascript and send it to the server-side. you can do that in a local code that. check out this following example (HTML2Canvas): http://html2canvas.hertzen.com/screenshots.html
