Wanted – PHP image gallery
(Last Updated on )
Now I’ve got some industrial hosting, I need to make good my promise to Nongyow to put up family albums so friends overseas can marvel at our glamorous lives. So I’m seeking recommendations for some gallery software that meets these criteria:
- PHP/ MySQL, for free open-source goodness
- easy-peasy to install. (I mean easy-peasy; bear in mind, I had to take a day off work to install WordPress.)
- Doesn’t require some special process to upload the photos (so I can FTP all nine million straight to the server)
- Standards-compliant, and doesn’t use tables to lay out the photos
- Automatic thumbnail generation
- Can set up albums
I’m not really bothered about comments (it would be nice, but the wankers who spam me give me enough moderation to do on my blog).
Anyone got any favourites to suggest – with a link to a gallery so I can check it out, if you feel really kind?

Furry muff, though I was hoping for some dark, sinister tale of Yahoo! and data ownership.. ho hum.. sorry to hijack the post!
You looked at Plogger?
Given it a brief try a few months ago, and appeared to have serious potential…
I can higly recommend Zen Photo – easy to use and I think it will meet all your requirements 🙂
Take a look at cat-scan. Customisable output, valid out of the box, PHP, no database required.
If you’re feeling like rolling your own, you could always use Flickr’s API tools so they get to host + you get to control design 😉
Have a look at EPIG. It is called Easy Peasy Image Gallery for a reason 😉
I have to ask wassup with Flick? It has privacy settings and all that Jazz and there are even some back-up apps out there now… and you can get prints done from Flickr…
