Preserved Topic: PHP Image Gallery of sorts.

Hi!

I want to make a small gallery for my backgrounds with PHP? I need lots of help though, cuz my PHP knowledge is almost non-existent.

I will have a index page that displays small thumbs and? just maybe? descriptions of da backgrounds.
Each background will have its own folder that will contain maybe 4 different resolutions, a small thumb for the index page, a larger thumb, and description.
When the thumb is clicked you will be taken to a page generated by PHP that has a larger thumb and the description? and links for the different image resolutions. These links would go to PHP generated pages that had the background in it. I would like to be able to link directly to one of these pages if say I wanted to send a friend a link to the resolution that they need. Know what I mean?

I have been lookin for a PHP script, but I have not found anything I want. I would really like help building this so I can learn bout it. I have read the Gurus tuts on PHP?

PHP Image Galleries (106)

weadz n me are quite pleased with gallery though its difficult to tweak.

i just found this at zend:
http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/photogallery-part1.php

but havent tested it yet. also seems that you have to create the thumbs yourself.

I remember looking into these a while back. Even coded a rather crude one myself... Crap! must have lost if in that HDD crash as I can't seem to find it anymore. Not that it matters, it sucked anyhow.

Although I did find a PHP gallery somewhere that used 'Image Magik' for the image processing. Supported fad wad of different file types, Jpeg, Png, Gif, Tiff, and BMP from memory. I've also read somewhere that using Image Magik is faster than using the GD Library for image processing.

eh, I thought I linked to it. Ar well, at least I can find the Image Magik webby:
http://www.imagemagick.org

Oohh... lots of funky file types to play with : http://www.imagemagick.org/www/formats.html Avi's, Mpeg's even PSD's!

hmm.... oookay... I want someting *simple* (=

I will dig around in here tho... thanks!

Can you use PHP with ImageMagick?

You can use ImageMagick from PHP via command-line utilities that come with ImageMagick...

BTW There's also an experimental ImageMagick module for PHP: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/pecl.imagick.php

Maybe you like to follow the web monkey steps!

Or if not, how 'simple' do you want it to be?

I have some scripts that could be arraged, but they HAVE to be arranged.
I made them with a lot of Weadz' scripts, put them togheter and voilà.

I'll try to post a simple version this afternoon...

A sig should be here.....
But is not.

I am not really wanting anyting that actually makes thumbs or manipulates the images... Just lists them and displays the thumbs that I make.

ImageMagick seems to be a bit over my head... and ohyah... it has to work with php3. dang it.

Wakko, Yeah... I have been workin on thos webmunkie tutorials... I would really like to see what ever scripts ya have. (=

you mean, just list the thumbs in a specific folder and show the biggies onclick?
i think, that would be worth a nice self coded script.

well...Yes... but its a little more complex than that... And i think a Screen Resolution check will also need to be in order for my frinds who dont know what resolution there screens are. (= I have a lot of smart friends =) that would be a easy JS thing... dunno how to work it into the PHP though.

Ok, I've joined a lot of scripts, i want to make clear that none is really mine.

The thumbnails make script belongs to Weadz and the upload script, I downloaded from HotScripts.

First, we have the form to upload images It must be enctype=multipart/form-data so it's allow to upload images.
That form calls the process.php script. For this to work, you'll need the netpbm library(since i don't have the GD Library on my server, this one was given to me by Weadz).
The first function there is to make the thumbnails (thats' the netpbm library for).

Thanks Wakkos!

hmm... I have been strippin the pink wallpaper off of my bathroom... (just moved in) So I have not been around to play with this php thing... grrrr.... stupid bathroom.
