# phpix(1)

a php-based web photo album

## NAME

phpix — a php-based web photo album

## SYNOPSIS

**phpix**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page was written for the **Debian** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.

**phpix** is a web photo album which enables  you to easily publish your pictures on your website.

Using **php** and  **ImageMagick** or the **gd**  **library** phpix creates thumbnails, thumbnail pages and a  site navigation.

If **ImageMagick** is used for resizing the  images, the pictures can also be rotated to the right angle. The  preferred display angle is saved automatically for each image.

## GETTING STARTED

To add your own picture album to phpix, create a new folder in  **/var/www/phpix/albums** and put the pictures in  it. That's pretty much it. You can see the pictures generated by phpix  at:

```
http://localhost/phpix/
```

There should be a link to the new created folder.

In case you want to create a new instance of phpix in a different  folder, please read phpix-create-new-instance (1).

## OPTIONS

The following options can be configured in the file  **/etc/phpix/config.inc**

- **$ImageTool**

  Can be set to "im" or "gd"

- **$show\_rotation\_controls**

  Can be set to true or false

## SEE ALSO
