Fotopholder
Fotopholder is a PHP library used to easily generate webpages from folders of jpg images. Most other web gallery scripts out there require lots of setup or commitment. This script requires nothing. Just drop a single file into a directory full of images and presto, you will have a web gallery. This script will also parse nested sub-directories of images so you can organize your albums just by putting the images in folders.
