Re: JPG Slide show

I remember trying this. It required GD version 2 or higher, not mentioned on their requirements page. Most of these galleries do. I'm waiting to get my sysadmin to install GD 2.x +. I have 1.6.x and only PHP Version 4.1.2 It also requires changing disable_functions in the php.ini file, which luckily I can do. But not always for everyone. Thanks, John Richard Lynch wrote:

Get your false teeth out and glue them on. I defy you to find one that works.

Not counting the time I spent reading about Rasmus' powerbook, it took me about a minute to find this: http://gallery.menalto.com/features which Rasmus praised in 2003 as his fave. I dunno if it's still his fave or if there isn't a better one. I don't even know if it works. I just know it lists the features you ask for.

Was it a php3 thing where "= " meant "echo "? I saw this in a number of scripts where folks were still using <? instead of <?php !?

Yes. <?= ... ?> <?php echo ... ?> Same thing, different spelling. It's a shame <?= only works with "short tags" on, as it shouldn't (I don't think) conflict with the XHTML or XML or whatever the heck it is that caused short_tags to become obsolete. And, frankly, <?=$foo?> is a lot easier on the eyes (and fingers) than <?php echo $foo?> if you're not into HereDocs and you want to pepper a bunch of simple variables into a FORM or something. I LIKED <?= personally. I know some hated it, but there ya go.

I've spent 2-3 hours trying to get a number (I can name them) of galeries to work. :( Show me one that generates thumbnails - And works for you personally.

I've never ever bothered to make a slideshow for myself, as I rarely WANT a slideshow. I'd rather see thumbnails and choose the good ones than sit there watching a TV-like device... Just personal choice, but after not turning on my TV for years, I guess I just got out of the habit :-)

But thanks for the Yahoo key words to search with: "PHP image gallery scripts". Any one :) Please.

Hopefully somebody who has an image gallery with slideshow and thumbnails they like will recommend one.
