wsGallery is an open source script for PHP [I guess anything else would be difficult :)] with which you can create galleries on your website, complete with previews in multiple sizes and some automatic layout.

I created wsGallery because all the premade php galleries I bothered to find and look at either required the use of a web interface or didn't do what I needed [yes, I'm lazy when it comes to looking at other peoples code, I'd much rather spend 10x as much time writing my own :)]. I'm sure some of them are excellent.

I wanted more control over layout and at the same time have automatic access to previews - I got fed up with resizing in my gfx app.
wsGallery automatically creates previews in the sizes you specify.

Functionality is limited, but it should be relatively easy to use, given some PHP experience. There is a working example included with the download.

What's New:
Added gdlib support for those without ImageMagick. Supports jpeg, gif and png. To use set wsForceEngine to "gdlib". Default is ImageMagick if both are available. Contributed by Jacob Oettinger.
Fixed a couple of bugs related to new function names that broke some functions.

Requirements:
Some sort of access to a webserver for uploading the images (ftp will do)
PHP 4.2 or later
ImageMagick 5.4 and newer or gdlib
Images you want to put online.
