PHP Photo Album Script

It describes PHP as having to do with emailing somebody when the code is run.

PHP is a server-side language. Sending emails is only one of its many uses.

Yep, that seems to be the problem. PHP is not supported on my basic web package I got with my cable modem service. I did see it was available in another package that has an additional montlhy charge. It describes PHP as having to do with emailing somebody when the code is run. Why is this? Is the person the wrote the code trying to accumulate data on who is using it? Is it possible to to make this nice program/code work without the PHP? I have really been looking for something like this. I think it would be great just to dump a bunch of photo in a folder, upload it and have the webpage just show the thumbnails. It eliminates all the coding or running of programs to create the web page. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Roger

Hey Roger,

You may also want to look at this

<script src="http://users.adelphia.net/~rtcook/gallery/getpics.php" type="text/javascript"></script>

line in your gallery htm. Be sure that it is the correct path. If you don't have a directory "gallery" then the getpics.php is in the wrong place. Just a thought.

[Twey]

It is the correct path, I've already checked. Lack of PHP support is the only problem here.

Linux! The OS of the FUTURE!!!

I'd disagree here. In the not-too-distant future, I should hope that people will start to develop software for microkernel-based distributions, like GNU Hurd.

I really would like to use this, but it does not work for me. I get a blank page with two errors that say "galleryarray" is undefined and one syntax error on line 2. I can't figure it out. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Roger

I am getting the same error, I am trying to debug and test my site on my local Machine, I am using frontpage 2003 on a Windows XP Pro, SP 2 operation system

is there a way to do this with out using a ISP, so that i can test the images and code before I upload it all onto a ISP.

This is (in part) a server-side script; it must be running on a PHP-enabled webserver. You can install and setup such a webserver on your home computer; this will then be able to run the script.
