how to Execute PhantomJS from PHP

  • download the PhantomJS binary, upload it somewhere and make it executable (chmod +x)
  • if you are going to make screenshots, setup fontconfig (this is pretty specific to my config but the goal is to make sure to have at least some fonts on your system)
  • run the following in PHP:
    $response = exec('/path/to/phantomjs myscript.js');
