You'd have to 'build an image' of the site using the internal equivalent 
of a web browser.  And they all render HTML slightly differently.  Not 
an easy task to do in PHP.

Or you could just tell Safari to PRINT TO PDF and save the web site as a 
PDF file.  That's what I do.  Better than an image because I can click 
on the links and be taken to the sites referenced.
