Tool or Script for Image viewing?

Hi Folks,

I'm currently working on a website for a photographer and am wanting to find the most simplified way of displaying his larger view images.

What I mean is this. On the site will be thumbnails of his images. When the site user clicks on a thumbnail it would pop up a page with the large view image in it and with a "close this window" link on the bottom.

Now I could manually code a page for every image but for a site with as many pictures as this....well it would take way too long.

What I think I'm looking for is a script that would access the image file inquestion and throw it into some template page that would include the "close window link".

If anyone can show me a script that does what I'm looking for then great...OR if you know of another method for doing what I mention that I may have overlooked please enlighten me.

Thanks,

why dont you just make one page with an image and the close link and then copy paste code replacing the image name in every new pop-up?

I can come up with the code in which ul just have to change the image name in each pop-up page.

Thumbnail Area Source

<code>
<a href="pop-upwindowurl.html" target="_blank">
<img src="thumbnailofwork.jpg">
</A>
</code>

Pop-windows source

<code>
<img src="fullsizework.jpg">
<a href="javascript:self.close()">Close Window</a>
</code>

i use a gallery script - you just drop the php script in the folder with the images and it generates the thumbnails, organises them and then links them to the larger pictures - and you can use a simple include to display it on any page...hmmm cant find the link so here is the script just copy and paste into a text document and save as gallery.php

Hmmm too long for the forums (too many characters) so will upload it here

remember to chmod the thumbs folder to 777
