Lucida v0.1 released

Friday March 26, 2004 @ 06:45 PM (PST)

PHP 4.3.5 was released today and, since I promised to release Lucida as soon as PHP 4.3.5 came out, you can now download a beta release.

If you don’t already know what it is, Lucida is the PHP photo gallery I developed to manage my photos. It’s fast, efficient, pretty, and has some really nice administrative tools. It’s not quite finished yet, but I still think it’s the best web-based image gallery solution there is. I’m biased, of course. Download it and decide for yourself.

It is awsome, works well and fast. It has the exact features I was looking for in a photo gallary. Especially the thumbnails, and the feature of viewing the image at different sizes. Would work well for Wallpaper sites.

Thanks a lot, Ryan! You da MAN. Honestly, I've been religiously checking PHP.net everyday for the last six weeks or so to see when 4.3.5 was out so that I could try out Lucida.

Sexcellent, sir!

I just tried it. Looks like you put a lot of time into it.. works flawlessly. Thanks :)

All it really needs is a way to rotate a picture and a way to add captions. Then you'd be set.

But I like how amazingly fast it is. That's the primary reason I love it so far.

Is there a command line argument for figuring out what version of php is installed on a computer?

Ryan, another home run. This is a fantastic program. Kudos.

Also, it works on PHP 4.3.4. :)

Are you running PHP on Unix or Windows? I know that PHP 4.3.4 on Unix had a bug that caused segfaults whenever Lucida tried to build a gallery tree. I'm not sure if the Windows version had the same bug.

And a way so that it monitored how many times each album and image had been viewed. That would be cool too. :)

PHP on Linux. Maybe it's something I am not noticing.

Also, someone should fix the spellchecker on Poseidon to recognize 'PHP' as a valid word. :)
