image gallery

admin section troubles

[generic]

Hi there. I have a script that reads out image files and sub-directories into a photo gallery format, no problemo.

Here's the problem, the admin section is killing me. After a few weeks of screwing things up horribly, I started using (a variation of) WFB but that has just turned out to be massive overkill for a upload/delete image file and add/delete album(sub-directory) script. I'm just not enough of a PHP guy to start this properly so can someone take a few minutes and help me lay out the PHP for this photo gallery admin? Thanks in advance.

The admin section is going to require more than you are probably expecting so I'll throw down a few things that come to mind.

1. User files, user setup, user maintenance
   
2. User authentication system, user security built into applications
   
3. File upload with security editing
   
4. File/Directory add/change/delete options
   

Also, I would add that I'm not familiar with "WBF", but have you looked into the open source project Gallery? It's been around awhile and perhaps you can use that or take some ideas away from the code? I personally haven't used it but it gets a lot of press:
[gallery.sourceforge.net...]

Thanks for the linkage! I'll be sure to look into it. This admin section is only going to be seen and used by one person so user levels and frontend security aren't necessarily key design elements so much as functionality. Anyway, I'll check out the link and see what it's all about. Thanks!

Also, FYI, what I was refering to in WFB was WebFileBrowser (http://www.webfilebrowser.org) which is way too much for this.
