Now can be the installation even easier. There are many people which have no idea of CHMOD functions or some user access rights in unix or on FTP server. For those i have prepared a little installer script.

Do you have the same problem as i had? As i had before i knew ImageMagick. Always if i wanted to upload photos i had to reisze them each, one by one. I made it in Gimp, may be you are using Photoshop or something else. This was very slow and boring.

That's why, i would like to introduce you ImageMagick.
This is very useful package of programms. You can use it for creating, converting manipulating of pictures.

Today i released new version of phpAlbum.
Many bugs has been fixed. Here is short description of new features:

• new installation should be even easier as befor. More error messages are implemented to help the user by the installation.
• all visible texts are now customisable, even invisible setup link is possible
• character set encoding is now changable, default is UTF-8
• few chache options are now implemented, now you can switch if you want cache thumbnails and resized photos. Until now there were only thumbnails cached. As i realised that many people upload full size photos, and resizing of them is quite slow. I thought for those people is this interesting feature.

Here you can post bugs, if you have some. Please always describe the version of phpAlbum, version of PHP and type of server you are using. The best way is also to give some link to the page where we can see the bug.

Remark: If you have problems with english just write an email in one of following language : English,German (Deutsch),Slovak (Slovensky),Tschechisch (Cesky),Hungarian (Magyar)

Yesterday (22.11.2005) i have released new version of phpAlbum. The only new functionality (besides some eliminated bugs) is the size settings of thumbnails and photos. As this is not really self explaining (shame on me!), here you have short description of what you can do.

New version of phpAlbum is out! Check out new screenshots !
There are some new features like color customisation, themes support ( actually under construction ) with hey, 1 theme :)

But if you choose custom style, you can change all color settings so it is quite better then before.
Now you can generate your logo, type text for it and color and you get shadowed dynamic generated logo.
Also the directory icons are dynamicly generate with correct background color.

I made also som bugfixing. So try it and use it!

Have a nice day!

Why did i started to programm this PHP Photo Album.

First, i was always searching for some easy to use and install PHP Album. As i am programmer i have never found something what i really liked.

I needed something where i only have to upload my new photos and that's it. No thumbnails regenerating, no static page Photo album generator, just create new directory and upload my photos with FTP or SFTP.

I needed some script which does not need any database, it should use file system, PHP and nothing else.

I also needed something where i can easily setup passwords for som directories or just with one click disable some others visibility and so on...

Installation of phpAlbum is now even easier as before.

Just go to the INSTALL section and install it out of this site on your ftp-server. It is very easy and all you have to do after this is upload your photos with FTP. All directories are created autmatically and there will be alsou photo_xyxyx subdirectory where you can upload your images.

If you want manually install phpAlbum then the following description of it can surely help you.

First you have to download actual version of phpAlbum. It is recomended to have always the newest update, as this is an early stage of developing this tool.
Untar downloaded file and upload it to your webspace. Best way is to have an extra directory for this i.e. phpAlbum.
