I need some help putting a php gallery in my site.

Also, don't make posts like 'read a tutorial' or somthing like that, I've DONE that, ALOT.

Important question: Do you want to write your own from scratch, or use a pre-built application?

I have zero php skills.

So haveing one i can put on the site and NOT break the design sceme, would be great

Sorry for not responding to this, I've been crazy-busy with lots of other stuff.

I do have some more questions, if you don't mind, so we can make proper recommendations to suit your needs, and/or give you some code examples to figure out your own solution. There are dozens of gallery and image management applications out there, ranging in complexity from simple display scripts to large multi-user management systems.

-About how many images do you need to manage?
-Will other users need access to manage images in your gallery, or will you be the only back-end/administrative user?
-Are you comfortable using FTP to add images, or do you need a web interface/wizard to do it?
-Does your hosting account provide a database of some sort (preferably MySQL)?
-How tightly does this gallery need to mesh with the rest of your site? Do you need to be able to insert a lot of its images into your web pages? Or will it essentially be a standalone part of your site?
-Relating to the previous question, how is your site built? Is it a blog? Is it built with PHP? Or with regular HTML?

I have some ideas of applications I've used myself, or that I've worked with in some manner, but I don't want to go nuts with recommendations :-)

@ Bob;
I tired that and it didn't work.


@ Felix Lockhart;
1. An ever increasing amount
2. Just me
3. FTP is fine, but i will need to add descriptiopns/titles to the images
4. It's E-Studios, so i think it does.
5. I just need to have it able to go into a <div>
6. HTML & CSS, but the gallery would have to be PHP for it to work.
