PHP runs on the server. Any use of system() will also run on the server.
Taking a snapshot of the screen of the server is (a) likely not what
was wanted, (b) a significant security hole on the server, (c) even
if you somehow could get the screen snapshot to work on the client
machine, it's a security breach there also.
