I am about to starrt building a website for an antiques dealer as an online catalogue (ie no online transactions). I will need to display thumbnails and descriptions linked to larger images. Each category of items will only display the first 8 thumbs of a larger list and as an item is sold it will be removed. Thumbs are not to be displayed as a single block. There is no requirement for users to login or add their own comments, and the client does NOT want to update it himself.
So I think I need just a simple photo album PHP script that is template orientated which allows me to access database info to display image and item details. Oh, and as it's my first venture into PHP then I'd rather use a free one.
Any recommendations?
