## What it is
PuPHPeteer is a PHP library that bridges to Puppeteer via Node, exposing the full Puppeteer API for controlling headless Chrome from PHP code. It is built on Rialto and is no longer maintained, with community forks available.

## Use cases
- scrape websites from php
- take screenshots of web pages in php
- generate pdf from html using headless chrome in php
- automate browser interactions in php
- run e2e browser tests from php

## When to choose
- you need Puppeteer's full API from a PHP codebase
- you want to scrape or render pages with headless Chrome from PHP

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained dependency - the project is abandoned
- you can use Puppeteer directly in Node instead of bridging from PHP
- you need the latest Chrome/Puppeteer features

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: web-scraping, testing, workflow-automation, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, developer-tools, testing
- platform: php, cli
- tags: puppeteer, headless-chrome, browser-automation, php-bridge, unmaintained, automation, nodejs
