Its password protected admin area enables users to easily manage information related to specific album and uploaded images. It requires PHP5.2+, GD Library and MySQL database.

ThePhig adds automatic thumbnail creation, and provide you with three different image overlays: PrettyPhoto, FancyBox, and Shutter Reloaded for the front end. Another important feature is its ability to have the images in an album mapped out (on Google Maps) for you, if coordinates exist in the EXIF data.

Features

  • Automatic thumbnail creation of images
  • Easily customizable with CSS
  • Open source allows for the modification of the underlying code if needed
  • A password protected administration panel for modifying many of the settings of the gallery (such as name of the gallery, image titles, etc)
  • The ability to create an album icon directly from the administration panel
  • If coordinates exist in the EXIF data, the ability to have the images in an album mapped out (on Google Maps) for you
  • Easy to implement into an existing website
  • Currently supporting three different image overlays: PrettyPhoto, FancyBox, and Shutter Reloaded

With all the other useful features ThePhig lacks the ability to upload images from the admin area – but you can easily add this feature yourself by integrating an open source file manager with it.

It also helps you to validate form fields, both on client and server side. It requires PHP 5+ and jQuery, and works in all major browsers (Internet Explorer 6+, Firefox 2+, Opera 9+, Safari 2+, Chrome).

ValidForm Builder implementation is not very difficult, however you need to be familiar with PHP in order to use it. You basically need to create an instance of ValidForm object (in PHP), and add fields, validation rules and submit button to it. ValidForm builder will take care of generating standard compliant markup and add validation rules for your form.

Features

  • The API generates XHTML Strict 1.0 compliant code.
  • Field validation on the client side to minimize traffic overhead.
  • Field validation on the server side to enforce validation rules and prevent tempering with the form through SQL injection.
  • Client side validation displays inline to improve user satisfaction. No more annoying pop ups that don’t really tell you anything.
  • Easy creation of complex form structures.
  • Uses the popular jQuery JavaScript library for DOM manipulation.
  • Completely customizable using CSS.
  • Automatic creation of field summaries for form mailers in both HTML and plain text.

Developed by Felix Langfeldt; ValidForm Builder is available for download under GNU General Public License.  You can find further information, demos & download on ValidForm Builder Website.
