Fun with PHP

I've finished my PHP program that parses the picture indexes on my website and re-displays them in a standard format. It was a lot of work to be able to reproduce what the static index files were already doing, but it was my excuse for being able to work with PHP.

But now I realize that this is a great way to get my pictures' data into an on-line, searchable database. Since I can now parse out the picture data based on the files that are published by my photo publishing programs, I can use that to automatically populate the database with the picture information each time I upload a new batch of pictures. Then, I'll have a searchable index of my pictures - all 382 of them (and counting)!
