This job of getting a good gallery for my dad’s site hasn’t been easy.
I wanted a lot and I wanted it for free. I’m spoiled like that.
I wanted file uploads. I wanted simple beauty in CSS.
I wanted a super easy user interface. I wanted my script(er, not mine, really)
to work like it could read my mind.I wanted automatic thumbnail generation.
I wanted it all.
I tested out so many scripts/applications/packages-whathaveyou.I did not want to deal with mysqyl.So that cut me into a smaller category. But there were still a lot of gallery packages to choose from in that smaller category…
I tried singapore.
I tried simplephpgallery v.this and that.
I tried minishow whatever it’s called.
Singapore needs mysql or sql but it doesn’t come right out and say so so you waste a bit of time right there.
delete!
It wasn’t until I fifnally came across

“MG2 – a FREE and easy to use PHP image gallery script”

visit their site by clicky
ohhh man it is dreamy!

visit the gallery
First: it works, no errors in the scripts.
Second: it is small so it doesn’t use a ton of discspace(but you will once you upload image files to it) so the package won’t eat up tons of room.
Third:you don’t have to do any configuration*!
I mean that is unheard of.
I had an error (I uploaded a badly named img file) so I scurried to the forum and was wondering why there weren’t any folks reporting errors or problems with the installation–??
Because there aren’t any!
This gallery package is awesomely true to it’s word.
Set up in minutes and instantly have a cooler than shit gallery on line.
whoo!
* note I did actually have to scan all the functions type files for any session_starts.I have to put a session_save_path before any session starts.
But this doesn’t mean you will have to do this,too.It’s my dad’s host, Purehost that has php set up that way.For security I guess.
Oh and also it has a walk you through it installation that starts up automatically.I have never had so much easyness and speed and functionality.
And it’s free!
I know-I already said that.
