Save time with PHP! Create photo galleries automatically.

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Large photo galleries can be a pain to set up and manage. When you are dealing with 100 or more images, you are in for some serious HTML data entry – tons of lines of code with only a few differences in each line.
