LGR Photo Discontinued
Many years ago I wrote a quick PHP script to help me create a simple HTML photo gallery from JPG images. I released it as LGR Photo and gave it away for free. It was a great little gallery and did what I needed it to do. I made it mainly for my own purposes but many others downloaded it and found it useful. I have been wanting to rewrite the script for quite sometime now, but it never seemed to make it onto the list of things to do. That being said I think it is time to simply retire LGR Photo.
If people are interested in using the script I will offer it here still for download. You are welcome to use it, rewrite it, play with it etc, but I can no longer offer support for it.
If you want to know more about the script here is some information that I had up about the script.

[...] have been doing some more house keeping and have decided to discontinue LGR Quote. I discontinued LGR Photo a little while ago and can’t see any reason to keep LGR Quote around [...]

Great script working like a charm for me, the search term "thumbnail preview script for images on web folder" brought me to this great script page, after starting my wallpapers site, for months i was searching for such a handy script which will give me thumbnail preview of my massive wallpapers collection, whom i just have on my server and not on my PC, i was unable to see the images unless i download them to my PC, now i can view all my collection via this great script, and add them after selecting the best ones, bundle of thanks you made my day. .-= Johnny´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.saltycelebs.com/photos/yana-gupta-photo-gallery.html" rel="nofollow">Yana Gupta Photo Gallery</a> =-.

I find your script very useful but I just have one question about it. How do I do if I want order the pictures in nummeric or alphabetical? My photos are named like: calella-09 (1).JPG calella-09 (2).JPG calella-09 (3).JPG calella-09 (4).JPG calella-09 (5).JPG and so on.. But on the page the photos are ordered like this: calella-09 (1).JPG calella-09 (10).JPG calella-09 (11).JPG calella-09 (12).JPG calella-09 (13).JPG calella-09 (14).JPG calella-09 (15).JPG calella-09 (2).JPG calella-09 (3).JPG How can I rewrite the script so it is ordered how I want? Grateful Victor

The PHP sort() function does it. You could try natsort() but I won't guarantee it will work. You could also just add an extra 0 to your file names. So calella-09 (01).JPG calella-09 (02).JPG ... calella-09 (10).JPG etc, then it should sort the way you want.
Victor
Thank you very much, Lee!

Just found LGR Photo and I would like to use it on my site with a vertical menu on left side of page and the photobody content part on right side of page starting at top of page. Is there any way of doing this? I have been playing with the code but can't seem to get the content part to goto top of page as it stays below the lowest item of the vertical menu. Thanks for any help you could provide.

A novice here !!! I have a small website with a folder full of images. can you help me with a step-by-step guide to have this running on my site ???
LGR
There is not much to it. Place the script in the same folder as your images. To add a header and footer there are some instructions in the script.
Monique
You're a genious! Your script of only one file does as much as one of hundreds of files!

Thanks for the script buddy, it works very well :D Regards,
LGR
It is pretty old but glad it works for you. I still use it internally at home but less often.

Hey! I e-mailed you moments ago with a question about PNG photos, but I thought I'd also leave a comment to let you know people are still benefitting from your script. It has made my life easier.
Peter Jensen
Thank for this great script :-) Is it possible to place the script in a different folder than the pictures? This because I have a cron job deleting files older than 5 days, this job will delete this great script too. Kind regards Peter Jensen - Denmark
LGR
It should be possible but you would have to do some editing to make sure paths are correct. Good luck.
Aj
Dear LGR, Awesome script... Thanks a lot for it my friend.. Better than all those big crappy gallery files..
LGR
Glad you found it useful. It is getting pretty old already.
Natasha
Fantastic script I've been using it for ages, I was wondering if there was anyway I could order files reverse numerically so instead of 1,2,3 it be 3,2,1?? Thanks
LGR
Yes you should be able to replace the sort() with rsort().
