Short answer: no.

Longer answer: possibly, but probably not the way you would like to. PHP runs on the server, remember, not the client's browser, so you cannot see it how the client sees it. Unless... *you* are the client. You could have your server run a PHP-GTK script that could take a screenshot of your server's open browser window.

Thanks, I'll just do it manually then, not a massive amount to do.
