Error!
invalid category_id

After logging out in my private category, and it keeps refreshing.

Thats two so far.

[iago]

Hmm, yeah, I could see that..

Ok, I'll make it so if it has to refresh more than once, it'll refresh to index.php

Sorry for digging up this topic, but I have a quick suggestion for you iago.

As you've probably noticed, thumbnails that are generated on the fly aren't cached, which can be somewhat annoying when you're navigating through a photo album like that.

You may want to consider generating a thumbnail file for each picture added to your gallery.

[deadly7]

Why not just have a link to the image where if it's bigger then say, 300w or 300h then make it have one side that is 300 w/h?
Example: I uploaded a 300x300 file. It stays that size, that's "thumbnail" size.
I uploaded a 500x400 file.  It reduces in size by 25% to 375 x 300

[Sidoh]

Because that's a waste of bandwidth.

Since all thumbnails are displayed at the same size (or nearly the same size), resizing them in the image HTML tag is a complete waste of resources.

[iago]

I generate thumbnails when images are uploaded. 

[Sidoh]

Oh?

http://www.javaop.com/~iago/ospap/picture.php?tn=true&picture_id=22

That's the URL to one of your picture thumbnails.

[iago]

Oh?

http://www.javaop.com/~iago/ospap/picture.php?tn=true&picture_id=22

That's the URL to one of your picture thumbnails.

Yep, and that loads the thumbnail file:

        if(isset($_GET['tn']) && $_GET['tn'] == "true")
                $tn = true;
        else
                $tn = false;

// ...................

        if($tn == true)
                show_image("$upload_directory/tn-$file");
        else
                show_image("$upload_directory/$file");

[Sidoh]

Oh, I see what you're doing.

However, you may want to veer form using that methodology because it still prevents the thumbnails from caching.

[iago]

Does it? I made sure I didn't put header("pragma: no-cache") in the thumbnail code.. :/

I wanted to make it possible to have "private" images, and to do that it has to go through the .php file. 

[Blaze]

Couldn't people just type in the picture name manually then?

[Sidoh]

Yeah, the thumbnails don't cache -- it's annoying for navigating, but I suppose it makes sense if you're trying to accomplish some level of private-ness.

Additionally, if you want images to be REALLY private, you could store them in a mysql database as blob data.

[zorm]

You should be able to append a .jpg/.gif/.whatever to the end of the url and have the browser cache it. Then use mod_rewrite or such on the server to fix it so that it gets processed by the php script.
