PHPHeadlessChrome
=================

[](#phpheadlesschrome)

Headless Chrome is shipping in Chrome 59. It's a way to run the Chrome browser in a headless environment. Essentially, running Chrome without chrome! It brings all modern web platform features provided by Chromium and the Blink rendering engine to the command line.

PHPHeadlessChrome provides a simple usage helper class to create PDF and / or screenshots using a Headless Chrome instance. **Trigger PDF / Screenshots generation for webpages / string HTML or local URL.**

In order to use this PHPHeadlessChrome helper make sure Google Chrome is correctly installer from version 59 or onwards.
