i want to make a gallery like this:
http://www.fansitesuk.com/nicolerichie/gallery/
so i asked the webmaster how he got that gallery, if theres a hosting site or something because i wasnt sure & he said this is the site:
http://coppermine.sf.net/
to get a gallery.
Problem: no clue how to get it started!! I have no idea what php is & how to work it.
Please if anyone could help me figure this out.

you don't really have to know anything about PHP to use it. just follow the instructions here: http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/faq.php#InstallSteps

hmm this php thing sounds way too complicated! Does anyone know another site with similiar gallery hosting stuff. A bit easier though. I want to place my pictures like that but i need a site with a gallery hosting thing like that.

PHP is the way to go, I learned it in about a week. If you want to go the javascript way, try www.javascriptsource.com, and look around, I found a good one once that was *similar * but to get something exactly like that, use PHP.

you don't need to do anything with PHP, just install the script that happened to be written in it. (when you install a program on your computer, you don't need to know C++ or Java or whatever it was written in, you just need to know how to install it- same concept).
as long as your host supports PHP, it shouldn't be too hard to install it. is there anything in particular we could help you with?

You upload it to your website via FTP, then simply run the installer script.

1. Unzip it.
2. Upload all files with FTP.
3. CHMOD the folders albums and include to 755 (or 777, depending on your server config)
4. Go to http://your_server/coppermine_dir/install.php and follow the instructions
