Advice On PHP Photo Gallerys
Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2006 12:29 pm
Hello,
I'm trying to develop a php webpage and I'm hoping to minimise the amount of work I have to do. I'm looking for a free photo gallery script to use on my site with the minimum amount of editing. At the moment I can't seem to find one that has all the features I want (or else it's not very clear that they have these features).
What I want is something reasonably simple using a mysql database. Only I will be putting photos in it so it doesn't need the ability for other users to upload photos. I want to be able to put photos in albums in the standard tree structure however (CRUCIALLY !) I also want to be able to assign photos to categories. A photo can belong to any number of categories and a page displaying all photos from a particular category can be displayed. E.G. If a user clicks on a 'Dogs' category all photos that contain a dog in them are displayed no matter what album they are stored in.
I've seen this functionality in commercial gallery programmes but does anyone know of a free one that can do this ?
