Hi Amar

Firstly, PHP is a server-side language and so has no control of the
client's browser, beyong the HTML and Javascript you send to it.

If you need total control of the user's environment I would suggest
you look at creating a Flash or Java applet and put whatever contents
you need inside that but it won't stop any viewer copying the screen.
You see many sites that disable the right-click or copy facility but
this doesn't give anything more than very rudimentary protection of
the page contents ... remember anyone can look into the browser's
cache or just simply hit "Print Screen" to copy the whole screen to
the clipboard.
