PHP API for calling into Gallery

	I'd like to write some scripts that run on our server that perform some tasks automatically with gallery. Is their a published API that I can use to do things like: a) when a customer buys cameras from our shopping cart software, automatically create an album for them in our gallery installation? b) take all the pictures in a single directory on the server and import them into a given album in gallery. This is similar to the Gallery Remote protocol used by galleryadd.pl (and others) but I'm looking to do it locally, not remotely. Should I just look into Gallery Remote and call it with localhost:80, or is there an actual API for programs to interface with local gallery installations? I can write the local scripts in any programming language, but I'd imagine the API is most likely to be available in PHP which is fine with me. Thanks, --Sam

	AFAIK there's no published API for Gallery 1.x. It's a good idea to use the Gallery Remote protocol: http://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagename=Gallery%20Remote%20Documents Then again the G1 code is quite good documented and Gallery Remote is open source ((i guess) and you could read both sources.
