PHP Photo Album tweek the autodesc?

[rmott78]

1) Script Title: PHP Photo Album Script v2.11

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/php-photoalbum.htm

3) Describe problem: No problem with the script. It work perfectly and I'd like to thank the author for his/her time and effort in writing a wonderful script. I have implemented it into a site that I admin, letting users upload photos via a simple form to a folder on the server, that this script then displays on a photo gallery page. I would like to add the ability for users to include short descriptions/captions with the pictures (via a text box within the form), and have the gallery display them, instead of the standard autodesc for position or date. Is this possible, maybe in the manual description array? I can handle the form part, and uploading the caption as a .txt file to the server with the same rootname as the photo. Can the script be tweeked to pull the corresponding file?

Which script are you referring to prince_85? If this is about an alteration to the script posted for rmott78's original question, then hopefully Vic will be able to help you. However, if you are asking a NEW question about the PHP Photo Album script, please start a NEW thread.
