PTM: Thanks.
The code pieces I pasted in my previous mail were generated by a Perl
script I have generated. I have two version of this 'Album' system. The
smaller 'viewer' containing just one script and one shtml page. The
larger contains abt. 10 scripts and abt. the same quantity of web pages.
The larger system contains more than 1500 lines of code and is handling
about 10000 pictures. Some pages are static and some are generated by
the scripts when needed.
I think I have reached a kind of status there.

Still there is a lot to learn.
Personally I haven't given much notice for PHP. I like Perl more and
have used JavaScript a little. Now I have found, that these are not
enough. I got to take more tools in my hands.

Still I'm looking for ways to generate pages, which can handle data read
from config files.
