Hey guys.
I need a photo gallery that doesn't need any "stand alone" programs to work...

I want thumbnails... Any ideas?

This is for a website. Can support PHP.

GD/IM, afaik, do not use any stand-alone programs. i.e. to the best of my knowledge, both perform image operations in memory.

If you want thumbnails (as generated by dynamically scaling uploaded images down to a smaller size), you're generally going to be looking at using one of these libraries whether you like it or not.

<img src="file.jpg" width="120" height="120">

thats the best you will get without using a library such as GD. You could use a little javascript to keep them to scale. But really, this is a bad solution, you are better off just using an image library.

Well the problem is I can't get the program installed on the server. I am told it is there, But the script can't seem to find it...

I would love to use GD - but it just doesn't seem to like me!

I used to have a script that didn't use something like GD. Whenever I uploaded the files - it would copy them to another folder called thumbs. and then the script would pick up the thumbnails from there. I still have it somewhere - but it doesn't seem to work for me properly any more.
