Making a PHP Photo Album?
Posted: Wed Feb 22, 2006 8:56 pm
I want to make an album that may have like 100 photos but only 5 are ever on the screen at once.
Something like a view box in the middle. Below that 5 thumbnails. Then a rewind and forward button on either side of the thumbnails to let the user move one photo forward or backward in the group. By clicking on a thumbnail it shows the photo in the box above (view).
My problem is I have been playing around with it and have found it isn't working.
PHP only works on page encoding so nothing is "live". I don't want to reload the page every time a user moves forward or back.
I can't use javascript since it cant read files and I was using files that contained the name of the thumbnail (full path), the path to the full photo and a caption text for each photo.
Any ideas?
I was wanting to make it small enough to fit on my front page.
