Tag based, php photo album?

[TnT]

Anyone know of a photo album generator that is tag based?

I want to upload photos, give them tags and then have the software create the albums based on what a user is searching for.

Captions and other standard photo album stuff would be nice as well.

Thanks,
Thien

I've been looking at and experimenting with PHP-based photo albums for a long time and I've yet to see one that does what you're wanting. Flickr would be the closest overall, but it's obviously not what you're looking for.

ZenPhoto has plans for something along the lines of dynamic albums based on tags, it's still a long way off in getting that implemented.

If you happen to find something, I'd like to hear about it.

I'm very impressed by the demo. I'll let you know how easy it is to setup once I get going on it.

After my quick setup and test pictures.

Pros:
* Easy to install and setup
* Virtual categories
* Tag cloud (shows most used tags)
* Gallery based on multiple tags (ie user selects three tags: Beer+Friends+2006, gallery is images with all three)
* User groups

Cons:
* User management could use work.
* Turning off the anyone can register feature means editing the stylesheet to hide that icon.
* Doesn't seem to be a way to quickly tag images. Have to do each one individually.

I got more pictures then my test thing uploaded. Pics are tagged. Works really well.

If there was a way to quickly tag images and do mass tagging, then this software would be great.
