Hiya,
I am new to PHP... I inherited a website from a good friend who passed away, and one of the things I need to do with it is create a photo gallery for his memorial.
I have a number of folders with photos in them, and I would like to find a free (if possible, I am not rich), php based gallery that will create a album for each folder and automatically include the photos in each without needing added manually to a database.
So... do any of you know of such a script? I have tried searching, but it seems most things nowadays are reliant on wordpress. I need this to be standalone.
TIA
Frosty
Question about open source photo gallery with auto-discovery

PHP/Linux, no.
That said, I have 20+ years of enterprise software development under my hat - but all of that in Windows flavors.
I know basic PHP and am now having to learn linux console commands to deal with this mess, but I am learning - and will continue to do so. I do not mind a bit of work, but do not want to create something from scratch. Installing and configuring it I can handle, even if its a bit advanced.

If the site is hosted by a hosting service/provider, you should have access to cPanel, which is the gui tool you can use to manage the site's files without having to do linux command-line commands to make changes. I don't do ANY command-line stuff to get my work done at this time. Check it out. So I googled and found a link to a php photo gallery tool and it is independent. Try this (not sure how old it is now that I've included recent ones below): http://www.ubergallery.net/
Also, here is the string of keywords I used in my google search: "php photo gallery album directories folders display"
And then also using the Google tools menu to drive the search results, specify the last year (age of url).
Another url: http://makitweb.com/make-photo-gallery- ... -with-php/
Another: http://www.foliopages.com/php-jquery-aj ... o-database
Good luck. This is likely the most targeted, thorough, quickest way to get you what you need if you aren't on your way already.

You maybe want to go some other way: use a local software that pre-processes your images and builds static galleries on your computer. You can then upload the results to any webspace without worrying about configuration or installation. Example:

I just had a search for "linux static html gallery" if you want to do further investigations on your own.
