Hi there

Can anyone tell me whats the best way to do a photo gallery for a photographer?
I can design which is not a problem but if my client wanted a to secure his photos, so what would be the best way to do this?

Many thanks in advance.

There are two options that come to mind.

First, if you're up to using a database, write the images into the database, and process them through GD to add a watermark or generate the image at a reduced size and quality as per what your client requests.

If you want to go a simpler route, just use .htaccess to restrict access to the folder where the images are stored, and use a script to do the manipulations required. If you would like copy of a script to start with, or more specific help, you can PM me.

Note: I did this just recently for some photographer friends of mine!
