Thanks Stut
I have looked at Gallery and I think your are right, just what I need.
Onfortunately I have found that Gallery musthave PHP safe mode off,
which Surftown does not allow.
Using Gallery means write of my Surftown account and get another web
hotel.
Any other ideers?
Use a better web host. Any system that can do what you're after will
want to do things like generate thumbnails and other different sizes.
This can get difficult with safe mode enabled.
I try not to recommend web hosts because they all suck, but I do know
a few people on this list provide hosting services and I'm sure
they'll get in contact if they can help.

I want to make my own web with my familie photos.
At the same time I get a remote backup for our photos.
I am new to web prgramming including HTML, but as an electronic
engineer I have some fundamental understanding of programming.
I use windows XP or Vista but that properly does not matter in web
design?
I have invested in a web service on surftown (only starter) for 5
years.
So before I spend a lot time learning webprogramming, I would
like some experience web programmers to tell me if my project is
doable within a reasonable effort.
I want 2 thinks that are a little uncommon:
1. User login protected by password (don't won't free access to
all my photos).
I have found some PHP code that does this and seems readable to
me, so I guess this is trivial and on to the main problem.
2. I want the web source to automatic create a new tab or link
or ?, when ever I upload a new set of photo's via FTP.
I want the photos arranged in subfolders when I upload
(preferreable two levels of subfolders).
If I upload more photos in an existing folder with photos, they
must appear automatickly.
So the question is: is this doable for a newbie within a limited
amount of hours?
Is PHP the choice?
Do I need to use mySQL for this?
What features must the webhotel suport and do you know if
Surftown does?
Is there anywhere I get template source code for this, free or at
a low price?
This wheel has been invented a hundred times already.
I would suggest http://gallery.menalto.com/ which I think does
everything you're after.
