Hello,

I cannot think of anyway you could do this natively in PHP without using
some kind of exterior library. You could always write a PHP extension to
render HTML, then create a snapshot from that, but that would be a lot
of work. I was searching around and found this,

you could use that, or even create a wrapper extension for it.
