Well, first off, you seem to expect newsgroups to be your own personal 
consulting resource.  I attempted to point you to a resource so you 
could do the investigation and evaluation once you got stuck.  That's 
usually the nature of technical news groups--'help I'm stuck' rather 
than 'let me do the work for you' help.  

If you wanted an evaluation of 'these scripts are good', that's might 
work for something generic like a e-commerce cart script or a MySQL 
class but you had specific requirements you wanted _US_ to do the work 
of evaluating and recommending.  That looks like an intern's first 
assignment or you're to busy to do the leg-work yourself OR you're just 
lazy.  Based on the tone of your response, I choose Carol Merril behind 
door #3.

php is a SERVER-side scripting language like perl.  It is most commonly 
used to display dynamic content to a web browser or on a command-line 
like a scripting language.  The display features of your photo gallery 
describe a web-based application.  They are best implemented with 
Javascript on the remote browser.   php would construct a page of photos 
with an embedded javascript and send the whole thing to the browser.  
The user would interact with the script to select a photo, clicking on 
the various elements until it does a POST or GET to the server, then php 
would parse the response and display more content to the browser.  This 
is basic web programming.  Maybe you should start with the O'Reilley 
books on php, javasecript, and mysql.  They'll get you started so you 
can ask more informed questions here.

If you want a good script repository, I like

http://www.phpclasses.org

multiple contributors and you can browse a specific type of code.  What 
you describe is often seen in Wordpress or Drupal multi-media pages.  
You might look into implementing those content management systems as a 
more complete solution than just a script.

Now go do your own research.
