AmaGallery is a photo gallery written in PHP 5 from the ground up. It makes use of Object Oriented Programming and the GD image manipulation library.
AmaGallery scans a folder of full sized images, comparing them with a thumbnails folder. If any images are found that do not have thumbnails, a thumbnail is generated for each image that is missing one. These thumbnails are then saved to the thumbnails folder. This ensures that every image has a thumbnail when the gallery is displayed.
Storing the thumbnails on the server means that the gallery does not have to regenerate them every time it is viewed. For a gallery that has many large images in it, this could mean the difference between loading the page almost instantly and making your viewers stare at a blank screen for minutes at a time while every thumbnail is generated.
