PhotoD is a free simple photogallery, written in PHP, which requires no programing knowledge and no database. The PHP script is open source and fully expandable.

Feel free to use, edit, distribute and do whatever you want with this script. I don't ask anything but credit where due is always nice :)

Download PhotoD v.0.1.

Installation Guide

1. Unpack the PhotoD files to a new folder on your server.
   e.g. '/var/www/photod/'
2. Upload your images and thumbnails to the gallery sub-folders
   e.g. '/var/www/photod/gallery/images/' and '/var/www/photod/gallery/thumbs/'
3. You're done!
   The site title, meta and other information can be changed by editing your index.php file.

Usage Guide

To function correctly images must have a 'full size' and a 'thumbnail' version. Place fullsize images in the directory 'photod/gallery/images/' and thumbnails into 'photod/gallery/thumbs/'. Thumbnails and images must have the same filename.

To work well with the supplied theme, images should have the following dimensions :
Full Size Image :: w - 728px h - 450px (height is not strict)
Thumbnail Image :: w - 200px h - 160px

Images are sorted in reverse alphabetical order (z to a).
A handy naming convention might be numerical dates,
e.g. 16052009-2.jpg, 16052009-1.jpg, 13052009-2.jpg, 130520091-1.jpg
