Thumbnail Gallery Script for Hostultra free host?

Forlornn · #1 (**permalink**) 10-11-04, 04:43 PM

i must have looked everywhere, and i really need a thumbnail gallery script, something that looks simple and clean, i dont care if it tells the views or lets people comment though those would be nice. My free host doesnt let me use ASP, MySQL, or something else i cant remember.. but it has to do with images, its like IG or something. I can use mostly anything else. my site is:

http://free.hostulta.com/~zero25x/

Anything would be nice, its just making a gallery from scratch with html takes a lifetime x.x

I checked out your site and your host. They allow PHP and MySQL. MySQL is a one time $5 set-up fee with them. Here are a few free scripts and what they require. They will count views and allow comments.

4 Images Gallery
(Php & MySQL)

Coppermine Photo Gallery
(PHP, MySQL and GD or Imagmagik)
http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/

Gallery 2
(PHP)
http://gallery.menalto.com/

only one of these i thought i would b able to use was gallery. but that requires imagemajik or someother program similar to it and my free host banned that, so i cant use any of those T_T. Any suggestions?
I just wanted a photo gallery with like 4 rows, 5 colums, with the title and date created under it and when u click it, it opens in a new window. nothing really fancy.

Can anyone help? T_T

Sounds like you need a read directory; display the images in a table and a link to a larger image.

I did something at the start of the year but my memory is crap.

Some bits below.

Anthony

PHP Code:


			
/* Thumbnails are in a directory and the $thumb_dir  is the path to the directory.

The larger images are in a different directory.

This will read all the images from a directory and create a table

The images are shown on a page called display.php and the image name is passed in the URL

May need tweeking as I had a problem finding it on my hard drive 

It also arranges the amount of images in a row before starting a new row 

*/ 



  $myDirectory = opendir( $thumb_dir );

  

    while($entryName = readdir($myDirectory))

    {

    $dirArray[]=$entryName;

    }

    closedir($myDirectory);



  $indexCount = count($dirArray);



  echo "<center><h2>All images from the directory<br>Click on an image for a larger view</h2><table>";

  $column=1;

  for ($i=2; $i<$indexCount; $i++)

  {

    if ($column==1)

  {

    echo "<tr>";

  }

   echo '<td align="center"><a href="display.php?pic='.$dirArray[$i].'" target="_self">

         <img border="0" src="'.$thumb_dir.$dirArray[$i].'" alt="'.$dirArray[$i].'"></a></td>';

         

  $column++;

  if ($column==3)

  {

  echo "</tr>";

  $column=1;

  }

  }

PHP Code:


			
// the display.php page

<?php

  echo "<center>";

  echo "<body topmargin=20>";

  echo "<br><img src=water/",$pic," alt = ",$pic,">";

  echo "</center>";

?>
