A PHP library for controlling headless Chrome/Chromium browsers via the DevTools protocol, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous usage. It enables navigation, JavaScript evaluation, screenshots, PDF generation, and mouse/keyboard emulation from PHP code.
Use cases
- take screenshots of web pages from php
- generate pdfs from html pages
- scrape javascript-rendered websites
- crawl websites with a headless browser
- evaluate javascript on a page from php
- automate browser interactions like clicks and typing
- test web pages headlessly
When to choose
- you need to drive a real browser from PHP
- you need to render or screenshot JavaScript-heavy pages
- you want to generate PDFs from web pages in PHP
- you need to scrape sites that require JS execution
When to avoid
- you use a language other than PHP
- you only need simple HTTP requests without JS rendering
- you need a distributed browser grid like Selenium or Playwright ecosystems
- you need mobile browser emulation beyond Chrome
