for the past couple of days i was looking for a php photo gallery.. After looking at like 300 scrips on hotscripts, and comparing many of them, I thought that I would ask advise here. I have certain requirements that I need from the script/software:

1.) I want to upload my own thumbnails with my own full size pictures.
2.) A easy upload interface
3.) beeing able to at picture into more than just one categorie
4.) maybe a search function
5.) easy integration in existing web-site (edit template, etc)

the problem that i found was that either the scripts are way to in depth (coppermine, etc) or way to basic .. I guess I am looking for the in between.

Comdev Photo Gallery I liked, but it costs 60 bucks and I am sure that there is a script out there for free that can do the same stuff.

I dont need any of the community features, like rating the pictures, leaving posts, etc. Just a gallery.

Ugophp easy gallery maker I liked too ..

So, what photo galleries are you guys using? What could u recommend?

thanks for any tips,
appreciate

Welcome to Webmaster World!
I got an email today announcing the finished version of Gallery from Source Forge. An open source freebie and should be very good. I have been using their pre-release versions on a family page and it works great. It's PHP with great documentation. I'll post the link as it's Source Forge and not commercial.

hi guys,

yes, i actually did find that script before also.. didnt pay too much attention to it though. but now, after looking at it again, and after yours guys recommendation, i think i will like that one. i just have to figure out and see if i can get rid of the customer comment thing, which i dont need. the gallery part however looks great . thanks again,
this is a nice forum ..

Gallery is good. I haven't gotten around to actually installing and testing Coppermine, but the demo looks pretty good too.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add, that for me, Gallery is a breeze on Linux, an impossibility on Windows. I have not managed to get it to install in Windows in such a way that it doesn't lock up on file upload. No problem running ImageMagick or NetPBM in my own scripts under Windows. No problem running Gallery under linux.

I have been using Gallery for a couple years- a photo album of my daughter for out of town grandparents. Works GREAT- recommend it highly.
