For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Image indexer / thumbnail display scripts in PHP

I often say that example programs provided to show "how to" become too complex too quickly - going straight from the simplest of programs (a.k.a. a "hello world") though to something much more complex in a single leap. I take multiple steps as I proceed on our courses, and I try to make sure that I show sufficient intermediate steps when I post online; not always as easy as it seems, as online examples need to be robust. By that, I mean that in a class demonstration I can say to people "please be aware this isn't secure" ... of course I can say that online too, but there's a significant minority who don't read the caution, or don't believe it ...

Anyway ...

A new example of a pair of PHP scripts ... to index all the images in a directory (with thumbnails) [here], and the script to actually generate a thumbnail [here]. Simple and effective HTML generated in the first script, and image handling (a bit modernised) in the second.

A bit simpler than the previous image viewing application which navigate images in pages [here], and cleaner images that the previous thumbnailer [here].

New examples are much easier to follow ... old examples I can go through during a training course if need be. New examples look nicer too because I've switched from ImageCreate to ImageCreateTrueColor in my thumb nail graphic code.

New sample: (run it [here])


Old sample: (run it [here])
