The Image Database Project
Author: Daniel Schimpfoessl
Start Date: 2005.11.23
As I started to write an image database with web interface to manage and publish my images I figured, that there are more people out there, that would like to have such software and would be interested in improving and coding it.
The technologies used are:
- MySQL 5.0
- Perl 5.8
- JavaScript
- AJAX
- JavaScript Tree Menu
- GD
- and more
The general concept is following:
- The images to be managed by this system can be stored in any structure on the filesystem. This structure will be represented in the TreeBrowser.
- The 'updateImageDB.pl' Perl script updates the database via cron job as configured.
- Images to be updated can be identified by full path or md5sum
- The logged in user can change the access and description of all permitted images to that user. See Toolbar for options.
- Any public user can search, browse, view and print published images.
