Script: PHP Photo Album script
URL: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...photoalbum.htm

just a newbie here...

My question is, how do i toggle the sort by filename alphabetically? :-)

tried nulling this part of the script...still its not sorted by filename...
var gsortorder="" but by file date...

tnx

Are you sure the script doesn't sort by file name when you enter a blank string for "gsortorder"? What the script does is perform no sorting at all, as by default, your server should already list files in alphabetical order, so there's no need for the script to do any sorting in this case. To confirm, FTP or telnet to your images directory, and see if the files inside are sorted alphabetically by default.

tried the script on a Linux (Mandrake) platform and the script works smoothly

but ive got 93 pictures and only the first 89 of them are sorted alphabetically..

the rest of the pictures are unsorted....

by the way, m using localhost as my web server

Hmmm honestly I don't see why the script would stop sorting correctly after the 89th image, unless the filename for that image onwards contains certain special characters. Can you post the file names of the images before, on, and after the 89th image?

one other problem ive encountered

when i tried the script on a windows platform (localhost), the script is not being parsed

but when i tried it on a linux platform (localhost) the script works just fine

any idea why is this so? tnx

I'm having the same problem with sorting by file name. With ftp I can see they are in alpha order on the server.

Otherwise I'm finding this very useful.

Probably PHP isn't installed and configured properly. It's a lot trickier on Windows, you have to fiddle around with config files and stuff. See the PHP docs on the subject.
