Is it possible to take a screenshot of all the visible items displayed on the monitor of a client machine from a sever?

+4  A: 

No. You would need some kind of client-side technology for this, but I doubt it is possible due to the restrictions in which browsers plugin operate. For example, Fogbugz, a bug tracking software, has an option to do screen grabs, but to use it you need to install a local program on the computer.

from the client should send the items displayed for example with AJAX, and in server related to the capture of the user session

... a Java applet or an Activex control might able to pull it off. In theory anyway, in Java's case through JNI, so me thinks. Could be wrong though.

If it is possible it is definitely not with PHP. PHP is a server-side language, all of its work is done once the page is returned from the server.
