Gussoh ImageSystem (GIS) 1.25 is a php script that automatically creates thumbnails out of JPEG and PNG files and set up a gallery index for them. It uses PHP with the GD extension.

2. Preparation (getting GD 2 to work with PHP)
---

Download and install a good webserver, i recommend Apache 1.3.27 (2.*.* is unstable on windows) which can be found here:

http://www.apache.org/

Then download and install PHP 4.3.0 from here:

http://www.php.net/

In your php.ini files change the line:

;extension=php_gd2.dll

to:

extension=php_gd2.dll

Make sure the extension_dir value is set to your extensions path, i e:

extension_dir = "c:\php\extensions\"

Now you are ready do install GIS.

Download GIS 1.21 at:

Now unzip the file in a folder in your web root.
In linux, you can create a directory with a name that begins with "." and make it hidden. In Windows that's impossible. 
So you can either:

Method 1 (the quick and easy way)
---
Copy the following files to your webroot:

avi.gif
folder.gif
folderup.gif
gificon.gif
wmvicon.gif
default.css

Then change the following values in index.php to:

$systemfolder = ".."; 
$foldericon = "../folder.gif"; 
$folderupicon = "../folderup.gif"; 
$aviicon = "../avi.gif"; 
$wmvicon = "../wmvicon.gif"; 
$gificon = "../gificon.gif"; 

Now it's ready.

Method 2 (if you don't want your icons and stuff laying around in your webroot)
---
Create a directory in your GIS directory, i e sys and change the following values in index.php to:

$systemfolder = "sys"; 
$foldericon = "sys/folder.gif"; 
$folderupicon = "sys/folderup.gif"; 
$aviicon = "sys/avi.gif"; 
$wmvicon = "sys/wmvicon.gif"; 
$gificon = "sys/gificon.gif"; 

Copy the following files to your new directory:

avi.gif
folder.gif
folderup.gif
gificon.gif
wmvicon.gif
default.css

Now it works, but you can see your new directory when you run GIS, now we could change the code a little. Search for the line:

if(substr($image, 0, 1) != "." || $show_hidden_folders) {

and change to:

if($image != $systemfolder) {

If you want, you can delete this line:

$show_hidden_folders = false; /* If you want to show folders starting with '.' */
