Project: imageViewer
Type: php Application
Site: www.alancece.com/imageViewer
Challenge: To create an user-friendly photo album without the use of a database. Allowing users to register for accounts, quickly and easily upload pictures, and share them with family and friends.
Solution: Why create a php photo album when there are so many free ones available? The answer to that question lies in the fact that there are few great photo albums that do not require the use of a database. Although I do believe that using a database is the ideal way to create this type of project, not everyone has access to a database or knows how to set one up. imageViewer uses files instead of a database to maintain user accounts, and photos. As of now, users can change the look and feel of the website, including colors, fonts and font sizes. Picture uploading is quick and easy and allows for captions. Slideshow features have been added for easy viewing along with the ability to change the image sizes to fit your screen resolution.
