Looking for one which only uses php mainly. I can setup mysql also but i dont feel like it since its not really going to be used by many.

I've used gallery but I'm sick of them cutting corners. It does a lot of things very well but it cuts corners on standards and makes it very difficult to package with php/mysql CMS's. I'm going to give coppermine a try thanks to this thread for giving me motivation.

I can probably install it tonight.

As for your other questions, I have no idea.

Gallery is fantastic software, and needs only PHP 4 or 5 to run. However, the versions I've run (1.3.x) are terrible for multi-user support.

Coppermine, while not offering as clean an interface as the one I love in Gallery, requires a MySQL database but is in the end a whole lot more robust. Of course you can customize the look/feel at your discretion.

I use xcGallery, which is just coppermine (dunno which version) made for the Xoops CMS. There's alot of things I like about it and then there's alot of things I like about some others (like gallery and 4images).

It'll be interesting to see what Gallery v2 will feature. Hopefully somekind of theme/template support to make things not-ugly.

I wrote two pretty simple PHP pages that does what I need it to. I've got a directory called "photography" on my server and in that directory, I have a directory for each album I want to display and on my main photography page, all I do is read the directory names and print those out and link them. Then I just read through the thumbnail directories and get the HTML to display the thumbnails that link to the full-size images. That sounds really complicated since I'm sure I did a horrible job explaining it but it's actually pretty simple and uses only PHP to work.

Did they ever add batch uploading to Coppermine? I know you used to be able to do it as an Admin, but everyone else was forced to upload pictures one at a time. Which SUCKS!

I tried Coppermine and after a couple of days I would get a "can't write to database" error. This was installed with Fantastico and so I deleted it and reinstalled and then again a couple days later it stopped working again. Very frustrating.

I am working with Gallery now and it seems very stable but it has a bunch of weird print options. I may have to try Coppermine or something else again. :(
