i made a gallery a while back that used the AJAX methodology, and php to feed it the dynamic data. a non-current version is here. sorry if the images take a while to load... apparently someone cleared out the resize cache . Its a little excessive, but implements with one line of php code.

all in all its not hard to make an image gallery that looks nice, i find its mostly the administration features that get a little hairy. If you are looking to take on a php/mysql project, i think a photo gallery would hit all the bases for learning stuff.

The reason you kept seeing the same image was probably because the rest of the images hadn't finished loading yet. Runs fine on ff3.0.10 on my computer. The images cache, so it should load faster the next time you try viewing the page.

Our website uses simpleviewer (http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/) and it pulls the pictures from a picasa site.

If you want something REALLY slick, you could do a custom PHP/MySQL/Ajax viewer like the one I am currently working on for my team: http://dotcat451.hopto.org:9898/dae/media/
Basicly, when the first request is sent, PHP looks up the year and album, and page (if avalible) and outputs that, along with a small JS file, to make a page that is about 50Kb. when you have JS enabled, it sends a request, and recieves just the new center, about 12K, and adds to the back history. if you dont have JS, then it just reloads teh entire page. It is also 2 way bookmarkable: the #2 for page 2 or Page2 or Page3#2 for initialy loading 3 with php then JS loading 2. If you want something like that, PM me and I will be happy to give you the code.

PS. this is on my test server at home, as you can see from the funky port, so it may not be up

For our NURC website I coded our gallery in PHP looks pretty good, also it preloads the next/previous 3 pics so it loads fast
