where to start

I'm still pretty new to the php thing as well as programming at all. I am currently working on rebuilding a website and would like to make it a little more low maintenance. and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to where I should start with a particular issue. I have a bunch of images and respective thumbnails numbered 2800 - 2885 (approx) and the thumbs are 2800-t - 2885-t (approx) with several of the images inside the sequence gone do to retirement of old product. I would like to be able to have a MySQL database with the image information to generate the pages putting perhaps 9-12 thumbs per page linking to the fullsize images, I've seen several image programs from hotscripts but none really seemed to suit my purposes entirely I basically need something that will do the catalog layout no image creation or auto thumbnails or anything although searchability would be nice. anyway, I'm rambling...if anyone can point me in the right direction Id really appreciate it.
