qdgal - a quick & dirty PHP photo gallery

I created qdgal for my own personal use, because I needed a dead simple PHP
gallery to show a few photos to family. There is plenty of such gallery
softwares on the internet, but every one that I checked was too complicated,
while I needed something *very* basic. No mandatory authentication, no user
options, no sql database, no crazy php dependencies, and a very simple user
interface that could be used by older people that are not so comfortable with
a computer.
Then I wrote a short php script during a summer afternoon, and qdgal was born.
As time passed, I added a handful of features to qdgal: basic (optional)
authentication, support for video files, custom styles, and more.

How to use it: simply copy the index.php, qdconf.php, qdlang.php and qdgal.css
files to your web server, into a directory where your photos are stored.
That's all. You can optionally edit qdconf.php and/or qdgal.css if you'd like
to customize qdgal to your liking, but that's up to you.

If you'd like to add comments to some of the photos, simply create a text file
with the same base name as the photo (for example 'photo.txt' if the image is
named 'photo.jpg'), its content will be displayed as the photo's comment.

Custom footer: to display a custom footer, create a html file named
"footer.html". qdgal will use it automatically.

Dependencies:
 - PHP 5.3+
 - php-gd (required only if thumbnail support is to be used)
 - exif (optional but highly recommended for correct thumbnails orientation)

homepage: http://qdgal.sourceforge.net

qdgal is published under the simplified 2-clause BSD license. It's free for
anyone to use, modify, and share.

=== Localization support =====================================================

qdgal supports a variety of languages out of the box. There's nothing you need
to do to, qdgal will auto-negotiate the browser's preferred language.
Currently, qdgal supports the following list of languages:
 * English
 * French
 * German
 * Polish
 * Russian

If your language is missing and you'd like to add it, simply add it to the
qdgal.lang file. Let me know about your translation, I'd be happy to add it
into the official qdgal release.
