This is an enhanced version of this
It’s a VERY simple php gallery. You could develop it in any direction. This one only supports jpg, but that could be augmented as well.
Here’s what it does:
- Allows the user to choose an image and enter a title (or caption).
- Uploads the image to a folder on the server.
- Creates a thumbnail
- Enters the filename and caption in a MySQL database.
- Output all the images.
I have chosen to break this up in four files, to keep it separated nice and clean. This solution will need a MySQL database. (if you need info on that, follow some tutorial like this).
Also, you need to create a folder, with appropriate read/write-rules, named “images” in the same folder as these scripts.
First off… The MySQL database table should look something like this:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `gallery` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `filename` varchar(128) NOT NULL, `title` varchar(1024) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;
And here’s the form (the ul-list is just to display the form in a somewhat non-horrible fashion):
gallery_form.php
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<style type="text/css">
li {
list-style: none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action="gallery_process.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<ul>
<li>
Choose image
</li>
<li>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" />
</li>
<li>
Add title
</li>
<li>
<input type="text" name="title" id="title" />
</li>
<li>
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</li>
</ul>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Here’s the process that will save the image and update the database.
gallery_process.php
<?php
// FUNCTION: image_to_thumb
// Parameters:
// $src: source jpeg
// $dest: destination file
// $thumb_width: width of thumbnail
// $thumb_quality: quality of thumbnail (0-100)
function image_to_thumb($src, $dest, $thumb_width, $thumb_quality) {
// Read the source image
$src_image = imagecreatefromjpeg($src);
$src_width = imagesx($src_image);
$src_height = imagesy($src_image);
// Generate thumbnail height, relative to its width
$thumb_height = floor($src_height * ($thumb_width / $src_width));
// Create a new image with target dimensions
$dest_image = imagecreatetruecolor($thumb_width, $thumb_height);
// Copy source image to destination image, with new dimensions
imagecopyresampled($dest_image, $src_image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $thumb_width, $thumb_height, $src_width, $src_height);
// create the physical thumbnail image to its destination
imagejpeg($dest_image, $dest, $thumb_quality);
// Free up resources
imagedestroy($src_image);
imagedestroy($dest_image);
}
// This is just my database connection
include 'includes/db_connect.php';
// path to images folder
$images_path = "images";
$images_path .= "/";
// Desired width of thumbnail, in pixels
$thumb_width = 150;
// Gather the information sent by the form
$temp_filename = $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
$filename = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
$title = $_POST['title'];
// Check that the image is a jpeg.
$image_info_array = getimagesize($temp_filename);
if ($image_info_array['mime'] !== 'image/jpeg')
{
echo "This script only supports jpeg images";
// ... add appropriate actions
}
else
{
// Find file extension
$ext = '.'.pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
// To get away from any filename problems the filename is swapped for a 8-digit number.
// The loop will check if an image of that name exists and add 1 to the number until the filename is unique.
$new_filename_basenumber = 10000000;
while (glob($images_path.$new_filename_basenumber.'*'))
{
$new_filename_basenumber++;
}
$new_filename = $new_filename_basenumber.$ext;
$thumb_name = $new_filename_basenumber."_thumb".$ext;
// Move the file to the server and give it the genereated name.
move_uploaded_file($temp_filename, $images_path.$new_filename);
// Make a thumnail
image_to_thumb($images_path.$new_filename, $images_path.$thumb_name, $thumb_width, 80);
// Enter all information to the database and head over to the output
mysql_query("INSERT INTO gallery (filename, title) VALUES ('$new_filename', '$title')");
header("Location: gallery_output.php");
}
?>
Here’s the output:
gallery_output.php
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<?php
// Database connection
include 'includes/db_connect.php';
// Set image folder path
$images_path = "images";
$images_path .= "/";
// Get all data from the database table
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM gallery");
echo "<strong>Click the thumbnails to see full size image</strong><br />";
// Go through the table and output all images.
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$filename = $row['filename'];
$title = $row['title'];
$id = $row['id'];
$thumb_filename = pathinfo($images_path.$filename, PATHINFO_FILENAME).'_thumb.'.pathinfo($images_path.$filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
echo '<p>
<a href="'.$images_path.$filename.'" title="'.$title.'" ><img src="'.$images_path.$thumb_filename.'" title="'.$title.'" /></a>
<a href="gallery_delete.php?id='.$id.'" onclick="return confirm(\'Are you sure you wish to delete the image?\')">Delete Image</a>
</p>';
}
?>
<p><a href="gallery_form.php?">Add new image</a></p>
</body>
</html>
And last the delete image process:
gallery_delete.php
<?php
// Connect to database
include 'includes/db_connect.php';
// Set image folder path
$images_path = "images";
$images_path .= "/";
// Get the database id of the post to delete
$id = $_GET['id'];
// First get the data and find the filename
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM gallery WHERE id='$id'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$filename = $row['filename'];
$thumb_filename = pathinfo($images_path.$filename, PATHINFO_FILENAME).'_thumb.'.pathinfo($images_path.$filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
echo $thumb_filename;
// Then delete the file and the database post.
if (file_exists($images_path.$filename)) {
unlink($images_path.$filename);
unlink($images_path.$thumb_filename);
}
mysql_query("DELETE FROM gallery WHERE id='$id'");
// And head back to the output page
header("Location: gallery_output.php");
?>
