I'm not sure how that could work. PHP doesn't have any tiles to see as they come from javascript requests.
Do you mean first do a lot of javascript calls to the api (eg creating each piece of the map), save the images with javascript, and then use php to stitch it together. Stitching is the easier part. I'm not sure about the rest. I don't think javascript will save files to your harddrive for security reasons. Maybe I can get php to trigger a screen shot? If so, I don't know how.
