KoschtIT Image Gallery is a free and open-source image gallery PHP-script. It can be used to add image galleries to existing webpages very easily. The appearance of each gallery can be individually customized. The only prerequisite for using the script is PHP5 with GD2 support. The pictures aren't displayed in an extra window, instead they are opened directly on top of your HTML document. Therefore your website background gets shaded.
There is also an admin panel, which enables the site administrator to write picture comments and edit gallery settings. Gallery visitors can write viewer comments to any picture. Navigation via keyboard is available too. More features are: slidewhows, automatic thumb generation, image to window size reduction, image preloading, previews for the next/last picture, show geotagging information (via EXIF) ...
Demo
In order to get a first impression here you have a small demo. You can show single pictures as well as gather a set of pictures to a gallery.

Hi Konstantin
First of all: This is a supercool gallery script... in fact it rocks!!! Works pretty fine to me in a website I'm busy with that uses iframes.
A minor problem for me is that I'm trying to customize the gallery and for some reason some changes I made to the ki_setup.php file are not shown when I saved the file and upload it to my server. For example if I change the backgound color of the gallery from #000000 to #72776B, it still shows the black backgound. The same goes for the width and height of the gallery (I want the gallery to fit perfectly in the iframe), and the number of thumbs to be shown in the gallery (I chahged it from 5 to 3, but it still shows 5 thumbs).
First I thought that it was because I load the index.php file in an iframe, but when I load this file directly into my browser, changes are still not shown.
Do you know what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance!
Ralph
