In need of PHP help

wgm · October 28th, 2007, 9:31 AM

What I like to do is have photos like:
/photos.php?id=(number)
/thumbs.php?id=(number)

http://www.wmcintosh.com/gallery.php

Code used for above link...

Code:

<?php 

include('/home/xxxxxx/public_html/sources/config.php');
if(!isset($_GET['id'])){
include('content/gallery/' . '0.php');
}else{
if(file_exists('content/gallery/' .$_GET['id'] . '.php')){
include('content/gallery/' . $_GET['id'] . '.php');
}else{
echo 'Sorry, could not find the <strong>id=' . $_GET['id'] . '</strong> page.';
}
}

?>

Tried to modify same code for what I used on link above, but it must involve more then I expect, right now my photos are missing as seen here http://www.wmcintosh.com/gallery.php?id=4

Photos (fullsize and thumbs) will reside in 2 different directories, if I could get help for one of them, surely I could manage the other one.

Would appreciate any assistance, thanks.

include('content/gallery/' . $_GET['id'] . '.php');

Okay, here is what springs to my mind about this code...
The /gallery/[number].php file: what is in that file exactly? If it is a php file "returning" an actual jpg file then it has to have an header("Content-type: image/jpg");
line somewhere in the file (along with a few other lines as well to make it work). This file would be used in the <img> tags "src" attribute - instead of 1.jpg you have gallery.php?id=1 which appears to be how the page on the link you posted has been used.

Hope this leads you in the right direction....

Cheers

Thanks for responding jdcopelin.

Sorry for your time, going back to .html pages, besides my site is only personal and doesn't warrant .php pages, perhaps another time, especially when I know more PHP, right now have other projects that need my attention.

Well, as posted on DSL Reports webmonks forum I deleted all .html files and kept all .php files, but the photo part can wait till I learn more, I did copy jdcopelin post for reference.

Was inspired to keep playing and learning PHP, mind you I am learning on my own.

I'm finding that learning PHP is a bit tedious - it is difficult at first sight to know if a script is "written properly" (as regards to code efficiency or security). At the moment I just use the PHP manual for reference and then just use google to look for basic concepts of what it is I am trying to do. Just wish I had more time to play with PHP...

Cheers

My friend Julie has a very small PHP script that does exactly what you're looking for. It requires just a tiny bit of tweaking, but she has it well labeled. Worth checking out if you want a simple gallery.

Tried it and is quite simple/nice, but the photos show up randomly, would like to have them separate (ie: Southern Washington Cascades photos by them self on a page, and so on with 3 other categories).

Don't take it as bad, its quite opposite.

Hmm, well with Captivate you'd have to name your images in such a way that it'll display them how you want. When I used it for a screencap archive, I just named everything in order. But yeah, to do what you're asking it'd probably be better to use something a bit more sophisticated rather than create a bunch of folders and stuff.

No prob, sorry it didn't work for you -- I'll keep my eyes peeled for something else.
