IMGView PHP Photo Viewer

What is IMGView?

The IMGView Photo Viewer is a small PHP script written by Carl Fyffe that I’ve modified over the years. You simply copy the script (an ‘index.php’ file) into a directory (PHP required), and it will list your images and allow you to navigate between them. It’s probably the script I use most often, which is primarily for displaying design concepts to clients or to setup quick photo slideshows.

Features

  • Automatically pulls the image file name as the document title.
  • Previous and Next links are dynamically generated.
  • Generate an alphabetized list of supported images in unordered list format.
  • Clicking on the photo will take you to the next photo.
  • Incredibly easy to customize and extend.
  • Only one file needed – supporting layout and background images are optional.
