[plug] displaying images on website

[Jon Miller]

What I ultimately would want is a web page that displays my photos as I've started to do more shootings and certain people (models) needs to view the pages.  So if someone can quote me on a decent web page design I would appreciate it.  I'll need to update the page every so often.

Thanks

I'm assuming you want some sort of 'auto' gallery??

What scripting language does the webserver use?

You could do a really simple "ls *.jpg" glob in php, and then a
foreach on that array, to display the images.

Or do a google for things like web gallery, auto scan directory, etc
etc. I would try and find you one, but I'm a little short on time
before work (and after today).

I do have a script on my webserver, that could be adapted to scan a
directory of images (mine are named in a special format, so you can
extract meta information out of the title) and display thumbnails of
all the images, and on clicking the thumbnails, show the original. If
you want, I'll get that somewhere suitable for you.
