Need advice on image gallery script

Hi, I want to set up an online gallery which lets my customers browse images and select which ones to buy.

I don't actually want a checkout where they can actually pay, but instead when the customer chooses to go to the checkout I want to automatically be e-mailed with the contents of their cart and want to process the purchases manually.

Can anyone advise of a free or open source script which can do this?

A few features that I'll need are:

1. Password-protected log-in.
2. Search field which will allow users search by image number, or image name.
3. Users should have the ability to select images to a shopping cart, but without prices and when users check out it won't take them to a payment area but will only send an email to the administrator with user and order details.
4. Should have a files and folders upload/download feature, and privilages should be given according to the user log-in. E.g. when administrator logs in - he can delete and upload files, when user logs in - he can only download files.
5. Admin interface for administering the gallery items and be able to create different categories such as "sound", "artwork", etc..

Can anyone advise me of a PHP script which can do this?

Thanks in advance,

May

I don't think that there's actually one script that does all that tricks altogether. However there are many scripts that allow to browse the photos (photo galleries), others to safe login, others to add to cart and others to send mail with information.

I'm sure of that, because what you want to do is quite unique and not very common. I would propose writing the script on your own, or hiring someone to do it if you're not familiar with the language.

mcibor offers good advice. You could check out Hotscripts.com to see if there are any free scripts that you could adapt into what you want. Failing that, as mcibor mentioned, you will either have to write your own or get someone to write it for you.

Good Luck!
