Simple Dynamic Gallery - Home Page
SDG Simple Dynamic Gallery is a dynamic server side image gallery application written in PHP. Developed as a simple way to launch dynamic image galleries on your own web site without requiring a data base, JavaScript or external data documents such as XML. SDG gathers file and EXIF information from images in a directory on your web site, and sets all the variables necessary to dynamically populate, paginate and display images in your own gallery design.
I started with a simple function to create an array of images that gets built based on the files found in a directory, making this gallery so simple it doesent even need a data base. Of course it has some serious limitations because there is no data being stored about the image other then the image itself.
Many moons ago, when I created this application using php 3 or 4, I'm not sure, not all web hosts included support for the EXIF module in PHP, so I found an EXIF library called "Exifer" that did what I needed". The exif library used on this application does not require that your web server or host support PHP EXIF module.
Now that we are up to PHP 5 and most servers support EXIF, I would recomend at least replacing the exif library with calls to PHP's exif module.
