I have well over 100,000 images and Digital Photos and I have a difficult time finding the images I need easily when I need them. I would like to create some sort of DB for this purpose. Anyone?

You can set the perl/php program up to trace through your directory structure and to add each picture to the database, or at least a link to the picture. From there you could create a system for management. That would not be too hard a task, a simple query system, and bang you have a free cataloging system, that you can tweak to all your delight. If you don't want to do the query system you could go about making the perl instead of adding to a database make it add the stuff to a flat text file or an html file so that you could access the pictures that way. Broach this question in the server side forum and I am sure you would get a ton of responses. -mage-

inside the page that holds all the thumbnails/links:

code:

<html>

<head>

<title>thumbnail gallery</title>

<SCRIPT>

function popUp(page,PWidth,PHeight,id,scroll) {

 eval("showImg"+id+"=window.open('"+page+"','showImg"+id+"','toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,scrollbars="+scroll+",menubars=0,resizable=0,width="+PWidth+",height="+PHeight+"')")

eval("showImg"+id+".window.moveTo((screen.width/2)-(PWidth/2),(screen.height/2)-(PHeight/2))")

}

</SCRIPT>

</head>

link:

code:

<a href="javascript :popUp('img.php?src=der.gif',WIDTH,HEIGHT,ID,SCROLL[0-or-1])">img1!</a>

^ that would be something like popUp('img.php?src=der.gif',340,240,01,0)

inside img.php:

code:

<html>

<head>

<title>Gallery</title>

</head>

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">

<table width="100%" height="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

<tr><td valign="center">

<img src="<? echo $src; ?>">

</td></tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>
