"This has to be one of the best PHP programs I've ever seen. The code and OO design is totally impeccable and the most beautifully laid out of any php project I have come across. This project should be the benchmark that any developer works towards as far as code organisation is concerned. One thing I also like is the installer - very few php developers even put in the effort to create an installer at all.. This is not so much of a problem for me but it is way more convenient to have a script that sets everything up. "

"I have a small personal site, www.VirtualPanther.com, which I value greatly. The dearest part of my site is my picture Gallery where I have my family's vacation pictures in various countries. The Gallery by Bharat Mediratta and his colleagues allows me to share those moments with numerous friends and family members that life has scattered over more than a couple continents. I am a sort-of an amateur photographer and I just wanted an easier way to put the digital pics online for friends and family around the world to enjoy. While many software packages, such as Adobe Photoshop, are able to create static albums, Gallery allows me to add, delete, move, caption and reorder as I see fit with minimum effort and maximum fun! ... Gallery, in my honest from the heart opinion, is the best photo management script for sites of various sizes and users with any background. Stop searching and give it a try. You will NOT be disappointed. "

"I'd been searching for something to organise my photos over the Web for years. I despaired of ever finding anything suitable. I did start to think my standards were too high. Then, totally by accident, I came across Gallery. Within 2 minutes I knew it was exactly what I wanted. A nice clean interface, fantastically simple to navigate; Once I had the source it was just as simple to install - just one little niggle with the Apache config (my bad), and it proved just as simple to administer. The odd bit of customising to get it to fit into my setup was also painless. So now I'm now uploading two years of photos. And guess what, that's proved untroublesome too."

"Gallery is absolutely fantastic, as a designer, I am a total nitwit with php or networking, but even I could get gallery to run under OSX without a glitch... Thnk you very much for a great application wich makes it possible for me to use my free-stock database from anywhere........ Eperium Business Solutions "

"An excellent application - if only other php applications had the same superb configuration wizard... The 'end product' is guaranteed a place on my server from now on. A credit to the Open Source Community, for sure. Many thanks. "

"I have been using an older version of Gallery for some time now. Well, the time came to upgrade our server. As a matter of course, this led to upgrading the version of Gallery. This is the good part -- I copied all my custom changes to the files in the html_wrap from the old version's directory to the new version, and viola, Gallery was running, in it's new version, as a part of my website. I was amazed that I didn't have to make any changes (just create new templates for things that are new, like the slideshow). Gallery is a wonderful piece of software, and helps keep friends and family who live far from us in touch. Thank you! "

"Thanks for a superb application. Being a non-techie and completely ignorant when it comes to php and scripting I found it extremely easy to install and configurate the script to work in the manner I wanted it to. First I tried to use Movable Type (blogware) for a photoblog - but uploading 35 pictures and giving them captions took me almost an hour. When switching to Gallery - the same procedure took in total ten minutes. I'm a newbie in digiphotography, but eventually it'll get better. "

"Thank you for saving me a ton of time with your very slick Gallery creation! I just sat down to program something very similar for my online Photo Albums, and saw a good friend of mine using your program. I was amazed at how easy the installation was, how slick the interface is, and how solid your program is. The Gallery Remote is a great time-saver too! "

"I love it. Simplified what was to me one of the more annoying things about owning a digital camera and a website to show all that stuff on."
    Rahim Anderson (12/23/2002)

"Great effort with the gallery, fantastic and easy to use. I've installed here and it's running great - i've uploaded over a thousand photos and the new version runs so much cleaner on the server. Thanks Guy. I've already sent you a donation and think because it's the season of goodwill i'll send you another shortly. Thanks for a great opensource product."

"After searching and trying out many different GPL and licensed PHP gallery applications, it is very obvious which one is by far the best! I know it's more fun to write something yourself, but as if I could ever hope to write something as stable and fully featured as what you are offering. Your donation is coming very soon ;) Baby will have to go without nappies for a few days... (just kidding) "

"I really think this is the best script I've ever seen for a gallery administration. "

"I am a keen amateur photographer and I just wanted an easier way to put the digital pics online for friends and family to enjoy. Whilst Adobe Photoshop and other programs do a fine job they tend to be static once created. Gallery allows me to add, delete. move, caption and reorder at will. 2 days ago I knew nothing about PHP (still don't really) but in a matter of hours was able to create my first galleries for others to enjoy, Any questions I had were answered already by others in the forum archives. The hardest part was working out how to get around the fact my ISP blocks port 80 - I even got clues how to do this on the site. I am looking forward to G2 and will "lurk" around the forums answering what questions I may. Many thanks! See my gallery "

"!GREAT! Just great :) I saw the application 'at work' on some site and just knew I could use it as well. And simple to use indeed, thanks for your work "

"Gallery has quickly become the centerpiece of our family website. It has enabled us to stay in touch from around the globe with ease. Thank you for the incredible program and outstanding support. Please keep it up! "
    Andy Jensen (12/3/2002)

"Thank you guys so much for making this software available to everyone. I had it up and running in no time and it is the best photo system I have ever seen, let alone used. I am most appreciative, and now my website looks snazzy, too. Thank a lot! "
    Kurt Riedi (11/30/2002)

"I think Gallery is an incredible program, it allows me to easily upload and 'edit' my pictures within gallery. Using this for our family photos has saved me a lot of time. I will say, I even donated $20 towards the effort. I know it is not a lot, however, every bit help. Also the MODS, know their stuff and are willing to help you though your problems. THANKS TO ALL for a great program. Keep it up!! "

"This program is most fabulous. It has so many options that it seems you have thought of everything. I am a makeup artist who needed a good photo program to profile my work and with GALLERY I have certainly found it for my site at http://www.jimsacca.com. You rock! "
    Jim Sacca (11/29/2002)

"Thank you so much for writing this script!!! I've been maintaining many websites for years and using Photoshop to create thumbnails and manually creating galleries. What a ton of work this script saves me!! I'm not very experienced with PHP, but your instructions made up for that. The initial install and setup took me a few hours to figure out, but now I'm rolling. If I can do this, anyone can. I'll recommend this script to everyone! It's the best script I've found for photos, and I've tried plenty of them."
    Bob Burgee (11/21/2002)

"Incredible - absolutely incredible! I recently started a webhosting business and had decided to offer site templates for sale. My problem - what would be the best and most professional way to accomplish this? I hopped on over to my favorite PHP site and found Gallery! Admittedly, I downloaded and tried several other image display programs - but NONE of them compared to Gallery! Thank you for such an incredible product - and I'm looking forward to the release of G2! "
