Hello, this is my first on this list. I have a photography website and I
want to gradually convert it to PHP. I'm new to PHP, but I do have some
Perl knowledge and I am an expert in Bash-scripting (linux). Up till now
I used a script to generate a list of nearly identical html-files like
photo/01.html, photo/02.html, photo/03.html etc.. Every page constists
of a picture with caption an previous/next buttons. The photo's are
numbered 01.jpg, 02.jpg etc. The only varying content in the pages is
the size (horizontal/vertical) of the pictures and the captions. The
whole thing acts as a slide show. I want to write a PHP script which can
replace the list of HTML files, is such a thing possible? TIA, Max.
This is the site what it's about (not a plug!! I only want technical
information) http://www.maccusfoto.nl/
This is the Bash-script I use to generate the pages:
#!/bin/bash

exit 1

echo -e "Done..."
fi
# Check for base directory
if [ ! -d "${ROOTDIR}" ]; then
echo -e "${ROOTDIR} Not found! Edit configuration file. Aborting..."
sleep 2
exit 1
