Looking for a fairly simple photo gallery with a few features.
Menu on left with collapsing tree that allows only one branch open at a
time.
Thumbnails on right. with description.
When clicked on the full size image will appear in a modal lightbox.

You would think this would be fairly easy to find somewhere.
So far I haven't been able to locate what I want.

If anyone knows of such a script available, please post a link to it.

You can drive the script by uploading the files in a directory via a web
interface or through ftp. A script can run off of a directory listing
or through a database. What you're asking for requires Javascript to be
running on the remote browser. Many people I know turn that function
off. How will your required script handle that situation?

Where have you looked already? There are a bunch of scripts that come
up in a google search of "php photo gallery scripts". Which ones have
you already evaluated?

Dude, if I wanted JS, I would not be asking for a PHP script.
Why is it that everyone assumes a person who posts a question hasn't
already done the homework on searching?
that is precisely why I ask. Because the searching has failed to turn up
what I want.

What did you want the php to do?

If you had done your homework, you would have figured out, that all the
things you are requesting have nothing to do with PHP.

But in fact, to the OP, we program this stuff ourselves if payed, no recommendation
so far.

then why do we have PHP to begin with?
Or CGI? Why is the browser the only place to do this?
Why can't you answer a simple straight forward question?

Richard, there are things you can do server side, and things you can do
client side. Denis is correct - these are client side features. PHP
runs on the server.

Well, first off, you seem to expect newsgroups to be your own personal
consulting resource. I attempted to point you to a resource so you
could do the investigation and evaluation once you got stuck. That's
usually the nature of technical news groups--'help I'm stuck' rather
than 'let me do the work for you' help.

If you wanted an evaluation of 'these scripts are good', that's might
work for something generic like a e-commerce cart script or a MySQL
class but you had specific requirements you wanted _US_ to do the work
of evaluating and recommending. That looks like an intern's first
assignment or you're to busy to do the leg-work yourself OR you're just
lazy. Based on the tone of your response, I choose Carol Merril behind
door #3.

php is a SERVER-side scripting language like perl. It is most commonly
used to display dynamic content to a web browser or on a command-line
like a scripting language. The display features of your photo gallery
describe a web-based application. They are best implemented with
Javascript on the remote browser. php would construct a page of photos
with an embedded javascript and send the whole thing to the browser.
The user would interact with the script to select a photo, clicking on
the various elements until it does a POST or GET to the server, then php
would parse the response and display more content to the browser. This
is basic web programming. Maybe you should start with the O'Reilley
books on php, javasecript, and mysql. They'll get you started so you
can ask more informed questions here.

If you want a good script repository, I like

http://www.phpclasses.org

multiple contributors and you can browse a specific type of code. What
you describe is often seen in Wordpress or Drupal multi-media pages.
You might look into implementing those content management systems as a
more complete solution than just a script.

Now go do your own research.

Why is anything? Its the way the protocols work.

Because, frankly, you are too stupid to ask one.

I think I will leave you to Jerry.. He probably does know more than you
in this instance.

Easy enough done.
When page is accessed use php to gather the folder information and
display in the left column (create hyperlinks for each folder name)

When a user clicks on the folder name use AJAX to retrieve the folder
contents and display the thumbnails on the main section of the page.

Each image will call the modal lightbox to display the full sized
image.

Precisely. Now where can I find the premade script to do that with?

There'd be about fifty lines of code. Write your own; I did.

My guess, when you hire someone to write it for you if you can't do it
yourself.

We don't work for free, regardless of what you shove up my ass.

I am just so god damned sick and tired of this frickin attitude that
because a question was asked, some asshole comes around and replies with a
link to a search engine. Even more when it's "let me google that for you".
This tells me, that the poster believes you are so dumb and ignorant you
never heard of a search engine or know how they work.

I've spent a dozen or more hours searching for the answer. I ask here
because I figure maybe somebody just might have a website that has what I
want. But instead, I get my ass kicked around.

I'm also totally pissed off at the fact that google is more interested in
returning hits based upon ad linking. And thirty offshoots of what else
might even be remotely connected.

When I search for PHP what ever, out of the first 30 hits, 20 are
javascript stuff. Apparently, google must think JS is the same thing as
PHP.

And apparently Dave Styles isn't man enough to kick my ass himself for my
reply.

And many of us are sick and tired of YOUR attitude (and lack of

No, not based on ad linking (except the sponsored links). They're
mostly based on content.

Jerry, I know full well and good the differences and reasons between
javascript and php. I've heard all of the damn arguments as to what should
be used and when.

Thing is, php is highly flexible where JS lacks.
Besides, I think the coding approach for PHP has been more thought out as
to what is done and when. JS is a poorly written code.

As I see it, the browser should do very little work. All it should have to
do is handle displaying the code. Not try and figure out a ton of other
stuff.

The higher grade applications, such as forums, are all mainly written in
PHP. Most all CMS applications are in PHP.

yeah yeah I know what you're gonna say. But I figure, if it's available,
why not use it?

It's like the old argument, "Tables are evil; frames are evil".
But what else was there before CSS came along? High end commercial sites
were all designed in tables. Then they went to CSS. Did it make the look
any different? Not really.

Richard, there's a HUGE difference between using tables or frames for
layout, and opening transparent windows. Once can be done on the
server; the other cannot.

A really good reason NOT to use PHP to do it!

In your case, that appears to be a pretty good assumption.

That's because you come here asking other people to do your work for you, instead of doing it

Or, more to the point he hasn't appreciated the difference between
server side and client side processing.

It may require JS - and perhaps a lot of it - in order to know what to
display. Let's see - my email app has about 7700 lines of PHP and about
15000 lines of JavsScript. This is not so surprising as it has to
provide a complex interface to the user.

The browser can't do this by magic, much though you might like it to.
And I really don't know what you mean by JS "lacking flexibility".

Fuckin' Ada, man. Listen up fer once.

PHP has no features to allow it to draw windows and stuff, apart from
perhaps the PHP-GTK project, which is going nowhere as far as I can see.
On the other hand it's very good at doing the sort of grunt background
work that f'rinstance my email app needs, such as working with
databases, reading/writing emails to/from remote hosts. Can't (really)
do any of that in JS.

What JS *is* good at, in combination with a browser, is providing a GUI
interface to the user - in other words all the type of things you want
that were flagged up above by Denis. So in my email app, *all* those
things listed above are implemented using JS. No way at all to do it
with PHP.

You don't seem to understand that the issue is not what *should* be used, but what *can* (and cannot)
be used. PHP runs on the server, not on the browser. If you want dynamic behavior to take place in the
browser, you need to code that in the browser -- which means using JS and not PHP.

> Thing is, php is highly flexible where JS lacks.

That's simply not true. They're both highly flexible. But they're used for different purposes.

Fair enough, but then the answer is, and you might have deduced this for
yourself, is that no such thing exists, for the reasons already given in
this thread.

When I first encountered richard in alt.html, people there were calling him RtS: Richard the Stoopid.
I used to think they were being uncharitable.

We have cgi to provide back-end functionality, like generating a list of
all the image files in a directory and outputting that list as some sort
of formatted text, such as an html list or an html table.

But you need to write the html somewhere, even if you're writing it in a
heredoc block or as pert of echo output inside the php or other cgi
environment of choice.

Likewise, if you want to spice up your html with, for example, css or
javascript based client side display features, you need to deliver those
instructions to the client as appropriate javascript or css.

The php or other cgi app of choice generally, unless it has specific
functions to generate html constructs etc, knows next to nothing about
html, it just generates and outputs whatever strings it is coded to
generate and output. It could just as easily, if you wanted it to,
generate roff ( http://www.quut.com/berlin/ms/troff.html ) marked up text
instead of html marked up text, because at the end of the day it is only
generating text strings.

If you want the web browser to do specific things, you have to deliver
the instructions to the web browser in the language(s) that the web
browser understands. These languages are generally html, javascript and
css.

You may generate these languages using php or other cgi scripts, but you
still need to deliver, to the browser, the correct html, javascript and
css to make it do what you want to, and the features that you are asking
for are features that are provided by delivering to the browser the
appropriate html, javascript and css.

We can tell you many different ways to use php to deliver the html,
javascript and css content of your choice to your browser, but php will
not do what you are asking php to do for you, because what you are asking
php to do is not something that it can do.
