Gallery in PHP :: Image Galleries

gallery (version 1.0b7) is a great piece of code. In this latest version it ships with the needed graphic library, so you can set it up in no time. gallery has one of the nicest user interface which is highly configurable too. You can upload single/multiple pictures and even zip files full with picture via the web interface to your album. A user system gives you the ability to offer you friends a space in your album. The highlight functions let you select the best picture from an album to show up in the album overview.
There are many more nice features. The only drawback i see is that it has a flat structure, so you can not build up your galleries in a hierarchy.

You can stop looking right now if you're looking for an ALL-IN-ONE gallery package/script... this thing has so many features (all highly customizable) that it's hard to believe it's FREE!
It's easy to install, easy to use, very customizable, and also fully compatible with PHPNuke or NukePost... advanced web development is getting too easy...

I searched for a long time before finding this excellent PHP script. I uploaded the script and it was a breeze. Any problems are quickly addressed by the author (Mediratta) or other people involved in the project, along with tons of users!
I am blown away by the fact that this is free! Like I stated in the summary of theis review: You can't find a better one!

I have a small personal site, www.VirtualPanther.com, which I value greatly. The dearest part of my site is my picture Gallery where I have my family's vacation pictures in various countries. The Gallery by Bharat Mediratta and his colleagues allows me to share those moments with numerous friends and family members that life has scattered over more than a couple continents.
I am a keen amateur photographer and I just wanted an easier way to put the digital pics online for friends and family to enjoy. While Adobe Photoshop and other programs do a fine job, they tend to be static once created. Gallery allows me to add, delete, move, caption and reorder at will. Few days ago I knew nothing about PHP (still don't really) but in a matter of hours was able to create my first galleries for others to enjoy. Any questions I had were answered already by others in the forum archives on the Gallery site. Being a non-techie and completely ignorant when it comes to php and scripting I found the Gallery extremely easy to install and configurate the script to work in the manner I wanted it to. The Gallery is an excellent application - if only other php applications had the same superb configuration wizard... The 'end product'--my site's photo gallery--is guaranteed a place on my server from now on. A credit to the Open Source Community, for sure. Many thanks. Very efficient, and effective.
Prior to using the Gallery, I have tested and dismissed seven other scripts that promised many things, ease of use among them, but consistently failed to deliver. Either they were so complex and cumbersome to install and configure that any hope to get the script running would soon die, or the features were so primitive that is was a disgrace to put it up on my site.
Gallery, in my honest from the heart opinion, is the best photo management script for sites of various sizes and users with any background. Stop searching and give it a try. You will NOT be disappointed.

Gallery is a very easy to setup, easy to use image gallery application.
The only flaw is in the login procedure: If an unknown user clicks a link to a locked album, he falls back to the gallery main page, which is not optimal. Optimal would be if he were presented with a login page.

I had been looking for an image gallery for a long time.. while some had some features, others had the rest I wanted. Finally I found the gallery, that had all the features I wanted. I really like Gallery. Was pretty easy to install.. only little problem was that safe mode had to be turned off for it to work, which I did not quite like. But apart from that, the program works just great !! I love it. I love the tools it comes with for Remote Uploading and the integration with Windows XP explorer for easier uploading. Great job Guys !!!

This is a great and solid script. The install was easy and the online forum was a great help (one glitch in the upload dealing with the html_wrap). Everything else was right on the nose and WOW, what a great gallery! NetPBM binaries worked fine with a very small (if any) performance loss. This is what a gallery should be.

I'm just your average guy with a web server a home, a digital camera, friends and family to show pics to and above all, no time to waste on installation & configuration and maintenance. If you're like me, you'll enjoy Gallery. It does just what I want it to, it is both simple to use + it allows advanced configuration when required, no fuss, no complications, no loose ends. You'll love it.

I've looked hard and long for a gallery-script and now I've found it. Gallery is very easy to install and to configure. It has many exciting features. AND gallery has its own remote program for uploading images.

I run this on 5 different sites, and for the most part it's been a great experience. Setup and upgrading is simple. Even modifying it is easy even for a novice.
There are a few little quirks about it though that kept me from giving 5 stars. For one thing it is pretty sluggish. They've been talking about using MySQL instead of flat files for years now. Navigation is kind of weird too. And the new poll system is flat out awkward and pretty ugly to look at. But again, great for the $$$.

Poor installation, Apr 8, 2004

This program is horrible. I should have known, since the site didn't load. However, the download link worked and I expected a standard installation.
With 590 files included within the zip, I would have thought this would have an automated setup. The instructions (once you figure out where to find them) require you to create your own config.php and .htaccess w/ proper permissions.
I never got this to work; it's a waste of time.

The gallery2 package is simply amazing. The installation of the large package was the easiest installation ever done in my 9 years of web publishing. Perfectly guided by a simple howto and most installation steps automated. Fully configurable to create the look and feel of your needs. SE friendly mod_rewrite URLs, validated RSS feeds and again an amazing number of built in or added features. Best of all SE and visitors love gallery2 - my traffic went straight UP.

The best gallery script out there, Sep 12, 2006

This is an amazing script. Loaded with features, it's extremely powerful yet relatively easy to use. The modules system extends the power by adding exciting new features such as RSS feeds, random album highlights, support for 5 different graphics libraries (DCraw, ffMpeg, GD, ImageMagick and NetPBM) and much more. The permissions system is excellent, and the embed API makes it easy to integrate Gallery2 with another application, such as a forum or CMS.

Needs more work on the user's side, Jan 12, 2007

Review Of:

A better written gallery program than most, but needs work in the user/admin area. Navigation is awkward and setting user permissions is confusing. If you want to alter the appearance out of the box, the default theme is matrix. They say to copy the theme into a folder called "local" instead of altering the original theme, but this will conflict with the config file that was created at install.
Gallery is yet another example of how good code writers lack good user sense.

Eat too much system resources, Jan 24, 2007

I have been using Gallery2 and Coppermine for a long time. Coppermine and Gallery both have uniqe functionalities, but Coppermine uses much less system resources than Gallery2. For that reason, I think Coppermine is a better script. Gallery2 eats too much system resources.
