Over the past several years I have used various scripts to showcase my photography. Some of the scripts below are very easy to install while others require a database and are a bit more advanced. Below are links to my site and then below each link is a link to that script or program used on that page. I feel a picture says a 1000 words and so does an example of a script. There is some basic information written under the links but it is best to read the script information on the developer's website if my installation and experience interests you.

PHP Image Script (Very Simple Installation)
Example Currently Not Posted

Download the Zip file and unzip it. Upload several small files to your web server and upload your images to a specific folder. The script sees all images and creates the navigation on the fly. No thumbnails. Photo titles are located in a text file. Jeroen's website has a forum and has helpful information if you need any assistance. Photo navigation is done with javascript so clicking on the Browser's Back Button moves you back 1 page and does not work with images. This script is especially good if you have smaller images.

FHImage (Very Simple Installation)

Upload several small files to your web server and upload your images to a specific folder. This script creates the thumbnails on the fly and the photo title is the file name. Also supports multiple folders where each folder can be used as a separate directory. If you need to block a server folder (as in the case with FrontPage users) there is explanation on how to do it in the FHImage Forum.

PHP Slideshow (Simple Installation)

This script is similar to PHP Image script with the page navigation and clicking on the image for the next one to appear. It differs that this script offers an automatic slideshow and allows for thumbnails. Also each image has a permalink in the address bar so pressing the Browser's back button takes you back 1 photo. Thumbnails are created by the user and then uploaded to a folder where the script can read them. My example does not have thumbnails.

Flash Image Rotator  (Medium Installation)

This is a great script! This is a simple Flash script that uses a XML file. I gave it a medium installation because it requires embedding Flash in a webpage with size parameters. Also it is best that all your images (named in XML file) are the same size. There is even different transitions between images. Two Cameras Up!

Untidy Photo Album (Simple Installation/ Paid Script)

All images in a folder will pop up on the screen and can be moved with the mouse. I use this script for an into to my webpage.

Pixelpost (Advanced Installation/ Database Required)
Offline Currently
http://www.pixelpost.org/
 

This is a photoblog script that requires a database. There is an admin section for uploading photos and the script creates the thumbnail. Comments per photo are written in the admin. Users can also leave comments and there is a plug-in so users can rate individual photos. Photos can be assigned with different keywords for easy indexing.
