I have made this gallery script a while ago, that will find all the pictures you have in a set folder, then link them accordingly with a thumbnail with the same file name in a different folder, which works really well.
Then i got to thinking, i hated making the thumbnail. I wanted to make a PHP script using GD that will find the normal image and create an automatic thumbnail, and then save it in a folder and just use that image next time so you do not have to recreate it every time (less server load next time you load the page with the pics). Since i did not have enough PHP skillz i decided to look for one.
So i found a script called "phpthumb()" that will allow you to find a jpg and scale it down to what you have it set as. Also this script caches the image so you do not have to recreate it next time. So i incorporated it my script.
So now you have a page that will find all the images you have, then link them using the phpthumb() script, create the thumbnails and store them in a folder. Then if you want to view the image in full size you click on it, it goes to a page where you see the image full size and it will load. Then you can click the image and it will take you back to the gallery page, using javascripts:go(-1); thing.
Since i already have this script made up and everything for my website because i needed it for my gallery, since I'm always adding more images, and don't have a lot of time now that I'm working a lot.
I have 2 demos
HERE and
HERE
The second one is for the website i use it publicly, like for the website, the first one is the demo link for when i get my scripts section up on my website.
If i created this script for public download, i would of course give 100% credit to phpthumb() for the thumbnailing/catching
So do you think this is a good script to have on my website (free of course).
Would you use it?
