how do i publish my photos in my pc to the web easily?

any program? script? i dont mean by uploading them using ftp because thats easy. my problem is to actually have a gallery of my pictures on my website not picture links

ftp them is your best bet.

If you have rsync and your ISP does too this would be a better option but ftp is fine and does the job.

that would give me links after. now how do i actually show pictures? not links without typing <img src="picture"...... manually over and over

You could write a little something in PHP, or some other scripting language, to read the directory's contents, and build an HTML string for each image it finds.

If you want to use PHP, you could read this: PHP: readdir - Manual

You could then put these in whatever layout you wanted, and put the "height" and/or "width" attributes in the <img> tag, and get as fancy as you wanted. It wouldn't take a whole lot to get your own dynamic homemade gallery up. It would be "dynamic" in that it would automatically show what pictures you have in your directory without having to update the code if you added or removed pictures.

It is the coding forum, after all, and not the pre-packaged software forum. How good are your programming skills? Here's a start to something I was talking about:

PHP Code:

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('/home/account/images')) {
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
      if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
         if (substr($file, -4) == ".jpg") { //or your accepted extension
            echo "<img src=\"images/$file\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\">";
         }
      }
   }
   closedir($handle);
}
?>

See its no headache at all.
