There are a lot of great PHP Galleries with a shitload of features, but all the ones I could find for an actual artist to use had exactly a shotload too many features.

That’s why I made the Artist Friendly PHP Gallery. It’s only one file that you can DOWNLOAD HERE, and all you have to do to add new artwork to your gallery is upload it into one simple folder. It’s simple it’s elegant, it’s exactly what you want.

HOW TO USE:

1. Make a new directory on your server.
2. Upload the index.php file into the new directory.
3. Upload all your artwork into the new directory.

That’s it!

After waiting for your artwork to upload, navigate to the directory you created, for example: http://www.yoursite.com/gallery/ would be a good one. You should see a bunch of images.

If you want to use the Artist Friendly PHP Gallery as a popup window like I intended, put this code somewhere on your website as a link:

<a href=”#” onClick=”window.open(’http://www.yoursite.com/gallery/’, ‘My Art’, ‘width=450,height=600′);”>Your link here.</a>

I’ve included a sample popup file in the zip download called popup.html
