I recently finished building a content-management system (CMS) in PHP. It’s designed for use with an image gallery. Among the features:

1. Dynamically generates gallery pages. Can be set to show any number of images per page, and generates dynamic links to the additional pages.

2. Users with admin access can add, edit or delete both image and gallery types.

3. When uploading an image, the system automatically copies, resizes and renames the images, and places them in the proper locations to show up in the gallery.

4. Error checking to make sure you don’t accidentally overwrite another image or unintentionally delete something you shouldn’t have.

5. Uses passwords and sessions to control access to the CMS pages.

The system is currently undergoing final testing by the client. Once they sign off on it, I’ll post a link to the site so you can see how it works from a user perspective. Later on I’ll set up a test site so people can play around with the CMS side as well.

I’ve already got a list of improvements for Version 2.0 — mostly broadening functionality and taking care of some housekeeping stuff that is nice but not necessary for the system to work properly.
