Simple PHP Photo Gallery

A very Simple PHP Photo Gallery:

• The gallery view is scanning folders with images (there is no database).
• Provide a full screen view (javascript based) and a download button for each image.
• Optionally, define different low resolution images for the gallery and high resolution ones for the full screen view and the download.
• Optional protection of individual galleries with secret words.
  Warning: The images are not protected by the password, only their listing (it's not really a password either, just some sort of access code).
• Each album must be defined in the config.php file:

  <?php
  return [
      'path' => 'data/', // default value
      'title' => 'My Photos', // optional
      'css' => 'gallery.css', // optional
      'albums' => [
          'demo' => [
              'title' => 'Demo photos', // mandatory
              'secret' => 'not so secret', // optional
              'low-res' => '640/', // default value
              'high-res' => '1920/', // default value
          ],
      ],
  ];

• Some styling is possible, by creating a CSS file and mentioning it in the configuration file.

Installation

• Use a modern version of PHP.
• Put index.php and the view/ folder somewhere served through http.
• Create folders with images in there.
• Use config-demo.php as a template for creating your config.php.
  Fill the config.php file according to the content you are publishing.

Todo

• Javascript based browsing of the images while the image is maximized.
• Improve how portrait and landscape images mix in the gallery.
