This is were we give the a brief look at how Albinator behind the scenes actually works. The integration of PHP with MySql as the backend. The system basically works on independent scripts written for specific tasks, e.g. adding a photo the album is done by upload.php which is a relavant name for the work it does. All scripts are basically designed to give you added performance and speedy output.

The user authentication system work on sessiontimes alloted to a user, along with the Java Cookies set at the user's end when he/she logs in with a valid password. The maximum time period for a user does no activity to log him/her off automatically can be set the admin from the admin panel. Here what i am trying to emphasize is the fact if the user doesn't log him/herself off then the system does it after a specific time waiting for them.

All passwords are stored in the database in encrypted format, having no way to decrypt them back. This gives an added security to the sensitive data stored. Albinator in standard version's uses various tables to store data, the customization option lets you define your own names for these tables while installation.

Working: The normal functioning of the system as per an overview is, if user eshaan, wants to add photos to his album, he must first create an album to do so, pretty obvious? well not to all. Some people tend to think that the whole system just lets them add photos to some virtual space, like a dumpyard... well actually the system lets you do a hell lot more... Any party photos for user mona can be put into a different album name "Party fun" or whatever, this gives the user to control the behaviour, the access to the particular photos.


showing an album adder option, adding album is like piece of cake isn't it?

Albums can be made of 2 types, Public and Private, as the name suggests the public album is which anyone can see whom you provide the url with or someone searches you from the system. But the private album lets you restrict access by putting a Album password to it. Lets here clear what a normal password is and how is it different from Album password, the Album password is specific to a particular Album only. e.g. if eshaan has 5 Albums, out of which 3 are private then all three can have different passwords which is totally different from the user access passwords, so giving your special ones the password won't let them really know all about you :)


as you can see making changes to the album are just a click away...


The password to the Album can be changed anytime, by using the changes options, this doesn't need your current password to the album do so, the above screen shot shows how... I guess else pretty much in albums is very easy...
