in need of a free web Image Gallery

[Rookie]

I'm looking for some recommendations...

something well documented since I am still learning PHP!

I love the look of pics? but I don't have mime-magic configured on the box and it isn't mine to configure.

Come on people feed me some ideas and links 🙂 Thanks!

Gallery
Coppermine
4images

Those are the ones that quickly come to mind, but there a ton of others. Take a look at hotscripts.com

Gallery IMO is the best out of those options. I haven't used 4images excessively but used Coppermine for a while and did not like it at all.

My "Gallery" - super, simple, easy to use. Tons of options. Can't ask for anymore.

Agreed.

Here are almost 300 image gallery scripts.

My favorite is coppermine which you can see in use here. It's VERY easy to install.

Coppermine is VERY easy to install (yeah, i know i'm just repeating), you almost needs to struggle to make Gallery works.

i do like the looks of Gallery better though.

I've looked at hotscripts.com but I hate not being able to sort...

I've used coppermine before and did find it easy to install. I was looking for something with the functionality and look of pics? and ease of install and power of coppermine...

anything jump out at anyone?

Gallery is the best imo.

Coppermine is good though if your server runs with safe-mode on (Gallery can't).

In that case you can use pics? 😛, however I can't call that easy to install.

I personally use 4images. You can check our my website as an example. You can also check out the "Sites in action" on the 4images website. It's easy to install by following the directions. Nothing to configure on your box. Uses PHP and Mysql. You can also use different themes if you don't use your own design. They also have a good support forum.

I got it (pics?) in and created a user successfully.

Unfortunately, that was about as much success as I had. I couldn't add pictures. It took me back to the index page 🙁 I guess I could debug... but PHP wasn't configured with 'mime-magic' so that might be the problem...

The code on SourceForge is pretty old. Your problem is that your PHP environment is setup with globals registered. You should add the following to the .htaccess file in the root of your pics install:

---
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^users/([0-9A-z\._-]+)/([0-9A-z\._-]+)$ /imageserver.php?user=$1&fil
e=$2
Options All -Indexes

php_value register_globals Off
---

I will have a more user-friendy release later this summer. If you have any problems PM me and I can help you set it up. You don't need mime magic anymore either. I can give you the work around for that as well.
