##About Mejiro

Mejiro is a forgetful single-file PHP web app for instant photo publishing. The app features expiration functionality. When enabled, it deletes photos older than a user-defined number of days -- hence the forgetful moniker.

##Features

• Simplicity The entire app consists of a single PHP file (plus a fav icon). Mejiro requires no installation, and it can be deployed on any web server with PHP5 and the GD library.
• Instant and easy photo publishing Upload photos, and Mejiro does the rest.
• Automatic thumbnail generation Mejiro automatically generates thumbnails for faster preview.
• Expiration functionality The app can automatically delete photos older than a specific number of days.
• Basic EXIF data The app extracts and displays basic EXIF info for each photo, including aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
• IPTC keywords Mejiro parses IPTC metadata and displays keywords assigned to photos.
• Display geographical coordinates on OpenStreetMap For geotagged photos, you can view their exact locations on OpenStreetMap.
• Optional description You can add a description to each photo by creating an accompanying .php file. The app can also read and display descriptions from the photo's UserComment EXIF field.

##Requirements

• A web server with PHP5 and the GD library. (Tested with Apache and lighttpd)
• Git (optional)

##Installation and Usage

1. Install the required packages. On Debian and Ubuntu, this can be done by running the following command as root: apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-gd git
2. In the terminal, switch to the root directory of the server (e.g., /var/www) and use the git clone git clone https://github.com/dmpop/mejiro.git command to fetch the latest source code. Alternatively, you can download the ZIP archive and extract it into the document root of the server.
3. Open the index.php file in a text editor and edit settings. This step is optional.
4. Put photos into the photos directory (.jpg, jpeg, .JPG, and .JPEG files only).
5. Point the browser to http://127.0.0.1/mejiro/ (replace 127.0.0.1 with the actual IP address or domain name of your server).

You can add descriptions to photos by creating accompanying .txt files. For example, to add a description to the F994362-R1-14-15.jpg photo, create the F994362-R1-14-15.txt file containing a short text. You can use HTML markup for formatting the text.

To enable the expiration feature, change the $expire = false; line in the index.php script to $expire = true; and specify the desired expiration period by modifying the $days variable.
