I guess it's a nice script, but this stuff is way over my head.
I guess I will try xoops after all and try to customize it to look like the rest of the site.
Thanks anyway guys and ladies

Hi folks;
I think I found a nice Gallery without a lot of other junk attached to it.
It has a login window as well. It's called "gallery" and you can find it at
Sourceforge.net.

It loads easily and everything works until I get this message.


[Warning: Output buffering is enabled in your php by the output_buffering parameter(s) in php.ini. Gallery can function with this setting - downloading files is even faster - but Gallery might be unable to serve large files (e.g. large videos) and run into the memory limit. Also, some features like the progress bars might not work correctly if output buffering is enabled unless ini_set() is allowed.]

Apparently this important, but where will I find the php.ini file. It's not in the "gallery" program so I am guessing it's on my site somewhere in the MtSql area.
Any suggestions on how I can find this file?

You can check your current settings using the phpinfo() function. Make a .php file that has this one line:
<?php phpinfo() ?>
Then execute it. That will tell you the default settings on your server, and it will tell you the location of the default php.ini file.

Execute it from where?
Do I simply upload it to the public_html folder and click on it from the file manager?
Like I said, php is way over my head.

Yes, just use notepad (or your text editing program) and type in the line - then save it as xxx.php (xxx = any name you want). Upload it to the public_html directory. Then point your browser to ht tp://www.yoursite.com/xxx.php

This will bring up the php info you need.

I created a blank .php file and entered <?php phpinfo() ?> in it and saved in as "phpinfo.php".
I then uploaded it to the public_html folder on my server.
I opened my browser and typed in the address http://sassydesktops.com/phpinfo.php and when the page opened it showed a blank page with <?php phpinfo() ?> written on it.
Where did I go wrong?
It's still there if you want to try it.

Dont call it phpinfo perhaps? Not sure otherwise. You can try mine at http://www.bbpinlist.com/testing.php to see that it works.

This s*** is too complicated for me. I have tried at least 10 different programs from sourceforge.net and everyone comes up with some type of sql or php error.

All I want to do is have a secure login to a given area of my site and I don't have to start learning php or sql to make it work and (oh yeah) it's got to be free because I have no money in the budget for this.

Take a look at Joomla. I was a complete noob to cms and I was able to set it up in very short order. It has a good user registration system and you can integrate forum boards, galleries, and what not - and set it up so that only registered users have access to different parts of the site. If you go to the site, goto the extensions section and check out all of the add-ons and things you can do with the site.

My site http://www.bbpinlist.com is set up with joomla and has a lot of features and flexability with a relative low time investment. All free under open source.
