Dynamic table

[watsonad]

I have a very basic understanding of placing a dynamic table on my page.
Unfortunately, it's very basic.

I want to create a 3 row by 5 column table. Each cell should contain a
thumbnail from my photo database. Clicking on the thumbnail will post a URL
variable to display a dynamic page with a full-size photo. I'm using PHP and
MySQL.

I've looked around in the Developer Center and didn't find anything. Any
suggestions?

Does the database contain a photo name or does it contain the actual photo?

I have a free extension available that may be of use:

Thanks for your suggestion, Tom. I just downloaded your extension and will try
it out. It looks like it will do the job and I like that I can format the table
with CSS.

In answer to your question: the database does contain the actual photos. The
columns are: id (primary key), title, description, date, size, thumbnail (a
BLOB), and photo (large BLOB). The column id will be passed as a URL parameter
when the thumbnail is clicked in the 5x3 table to build the PHP page that
displays the full-size selected photo. I think I described this clearly.

Any more suggestions? From your web page, it looks like the extension is going
to work great.

Thanks again.
