SIMPLE PHOTO BROWSER:
This is a simple drop in display tool for small groups of images
it is not intended to replace a album for thousands of images, it
simply shows 20 or 30 images one after the other.

It is compatible with mod_rewrite and can use templates to fit 
with your own designs.  You can change the appearance of some of the
elements using stylesheets, I am not a CSS guru though so they may
not be the optimal way of doing things.

The following variables are supported in the templates 
  image	the file name of the image
  text	the text associated with this image
  width	the image width
  height      the image height
  index       a simple navigation bar
  nexturl     url to the next image
  prevurl     url to the previous image
  theme       the name of the current theme

Mod rewrite rules thats needed should look like this:
  RewriteRule ^([^\.\?/]+).jpg$      index.php?img=$1.jpg       [QSA]

Will take requests for dir/file.jpg and call index.php?img=file.jpg
setting have_mod_rewrite below will result in all url's being 
generated in a way compatible with the above rule

SETUP:
- Copy distribution files into a directory of your choice
- Set up the .htaccess, a sample is provided, set have_mod_rewrite
- drop the images into the img/ directory
- create a file list, this can be as simple as 'ls > list.txt', the 
  order in this file will be followed, so you can enforce a display
  order by fiddling the list
- set captions for images by creating text in img/file.jpg.txt
- choose a theme or create your own, look in the themes/ directory
- test it in your browser
