template function to create a boost::shared_ptr in the form

boost::shared_ptr classPtr = new_ptr(Arg1, Arg2);

Creating an instance manually on the stack
Deleting a shared_ptr manually using "delete get()"

This is a PHP and JavaScript Image gallery that I created. There are 2 uses for this.
1.) You can save it as index.php and place in a folder containing images and it will display the images in that folder.
Example:
place index.php in images/folder
http://yoursite.com/images/folder/
This will display all images in that folder

2.) Pass in the path to the folder to display in the url
Example:
Save as imagegallery.php
http://yoursite.com/imagegallery.php?path=images/folde
