Photo gallery - finally finished
I have been working on a Flash-based photo gallery for this site for a few months now. Finally it’s done and I’m happy how it has turned out.
Summary:
- The back end uses Coppermine photo gallery’s MySQL database which comes as a freebie with most Linux/PHP/MySQL Web hosting. I don;t like Coppermine’s interface so I decided to write my own
- A PHP-based album chooser calls another PHP file that has an embedded Flash file
- The Flash file calls a third PHP file which queries the MySQL database
- The Flash file then displays the photos for the chosen gallery, using clickable thumbnails
- The user sees a 533×400 normal image and can also click to see the full-sized image (usually 1000×750)
- The user returns to the first PHP album chooser file in the same login state as they started (for viewing restricted galleries)
- Of course, it is XHTML and CSS standards compliant and works in the majority of browsers, if not all. No tables were used - it’s all DIVs
For the background and more technical details, see the original post on this: Flash-based photo gallery
Update (26 Jun 2006): A user was asking me to send him this Flash-based gallery but he decided to use
Coppermine Photo Gallery to SlideShowPro instead. Which gallery do you like best…?
