Simple Folder Gallery

November 29th, 2005

I'm almost done with development of a simple photo gallery for myself. As the title stated, it's a folder based gallery where the script will treat folders as albums and no database required. Since it doesn't utilize database, I can simply add or remove any folder or any image anytime. It also generates thumbnails for by running a script thru browser.

You must be wondering, why should I create a photo gallery myself when there are already hundreds of free PHP galleries available out there. The reason is simple. I’ve tried out Gallery2 and found that it’s really a very good script. I can even upload a zip file to server then easily instruct Gallery2 to unzip it and make it available to my visitors. However, sometimes, it has some problem generating thumbnails. Then, I had some problem deleting the album. After spending quite some time to trace those problems, I finally decided to develop one of my own.

Now, I'm in dilemma whether I should share it on the net or I should keep it to myself. I might have to improve my codes if I'm going to share it out. What do you think? Would it help somebody out there?

If my article helped you solved your problem, consider buy me a beer!

Then, I’ll make it available for download as soon as I finish the final function, paging (it’s currently one single page for all images). If you would like to have a preview, you can head over to my testing gallery, enrii.gallery to take a peek.

I’d love to take a look at this script. Many of the galleries I’ve tried are much more than I need! Are you still sharing this script?


EngLee says:

Frankly speaking, I still haven’t clean up the code yet. May not be appropriate for sharing yet.

I’ll update on my blog when the time comes.
