Open Source Image Sharing Script

My open source image sharing script originated as a service I planned on selling, but due to the high saturation of poor quality competing services, I decided to offer it for free.

I'm pleased to say it is different from other image sharing scripts in a number of ways. It has a small footprint, is written entirely in PHP, uses MySQL to store your data, is completely customizable, includes statistics on each image shared, does not require registration (but comes with it just in case), and checks to see if each image has already been shared.

Requirements
```
- PHP5+ w GD2 enabled
- Apache w mod_rewrite enabled
- MySQL
```
View the README file (it's in the zip) for instructions on installing and configuring the script for your site.

Let me know if you come up with any bugs or questions.

Additional features are already in progress, such as commenting and OpenID, Twitter, Facebook and OAuth authentication. Geo statistics are included on imagepng.com, but were removed while I investigate the Geo-IP database license.

You are free to use the script in any way you please, however donations are appreciated, especially for commercial use or if require support.

This script is not to be repackaged and sold as is.

The script was just updated and includes several significant changes to the database.

New in Build 20090205212655 - Switched from SQLite to MySQL

The large difference between this version and the first is this version (as will all future versions) uses MySQL rather than SQLite.

The database change was made to allow the script to run on systems that are not bundled with PDO and SQLite, and because I started to notice performance issues when a lot of simultaneous views were being tracked.

The initial release, which uses SQLite, can be downloaded here.

Hi Chad, I just wanted to drop you a line to say that this is a great script! Thanks for making it open source.

Any plans to add API capabilities to it?

I haven't planned that yet simply because I never thought of it. What do you mean by API capabilities? What would they allow you to do? I recently added optional registration to No Cart and NSFW.it, so that's the next feature I have planned for Image PNG.

by API, I was thinking adding the ability for other developers to integrate the script into their apps. Like twitpic allows iphone developers to access its features.

Or if we have another app that could use an image upload feature, it would make it easy to tie the two together.

If a person is using at a sort of personal image sharing script, it might be cool to add the ability to email pictures into the app.

Just thinking out loud here It's nice that it was so easy to install and just "works".

I just realized I never uploaded the version of the script with user accounts. I will pack it up and write new documentation this weekend. It has been in place on imagepng.com for about 5 months now.
