SPGM (Simple Picture Gallery Manager)

Has anybody ever incorporated SPGM into their website & then looked and a mod for a admin control panel to upload images from your local drive to the server & also title them, rather than having to use FTP?

I am trying to ad this mod: http://www.bluepalmtrees.com/spgm/

However I just can't get it work. I think the problem might lie with my BASE_DIR ..... does this right?

define("BASE_DIR","http://www.mysite/gallery/gal/");

Apparently this is the only line one is supposed to edit.

This is the full PHP code for the admin index page (I think)


<?php
$webroot="gal/"; // relative path from admin script to pictures
define("BASE_DIR","http://www.mysite.com/gallery/gal/"); // absolute path to galleries for spgm
define("MAX_THUMB_WIDTH",100); // max width for thumbnails
define("MAX_THUMB_HEIGHT",100); // max height for thumbnails
define("MAX_IMAGE_WIDTH",640); // max width for displaying image for cropping
define("MAX_IMAGE_HEIGHT",480); // max height for displaying image for cropping
define("GAL_FILE","gal-desc.txt"); // where the gallery descriptions are, default to spgm
define("PIC_FILE","pic-desc.txt"); // where the picture descriptions are, default to spgm
define("THUMB_PREFIX","thb/"); // thumbnail prefix, _thb_ default to spgm
define("COLUMNS",4); // the number of thumbs to display per row
define("JPG_QUALITY",75); // 1-100, typically 75, bigger number = better quality, larger files
define("LANG",'en'); // defines the language to use, default is english (en)

// the image types allowed, "type"=>true (1), all lowercase
$pic_extensions=array("png"=>1,"jpg"=>1,"gif"=>1);
?>

Here are a few comments on this guys page:

"webroot" - This is the relative path from SPGM Webministration to the base gallery for SPGM. Must end with a "/" and may use the .. directory up notation.
"BASE_DIR" - This is the absolute path to the gallery on the host filesystem. For example: "C:/wwwroot/photos/gal/" or "/var/html/wwwroot/photos/gal/"

Looks like BASE_DIR shouldn't be a "http://&quot; type url, rather an absolute path on the server.

Yeh I was thinking that might be the case. But not really sure what an absolute path looks like? How do I tell what it is in realtion to the server.
Sorry I know this must seem like a very stupid question....you live - you learn!
