Lightbox

Lightbox is a simple and efficient web-based photo album implemented mostly in PHP. I wrote it because I wanted all of the following:

• Support for multiple languages.
• Support for multiple image sizes, including persistent user-specific image size preferences.
• Extensible and searchable photo meta-data.
• Fast navigation, even without a mouse.
• Minimum graphical clutter (except for the photos!) and maximum portability.
• Scalability to very large photo collections.

Take a look at the README file, or download lightbox-0.6.tgz.

January 2007: a less crufty, non-PHP-based Lightbox is in the works.
