i dont know why you'd use mysql for this

$directory = "pics"; // path to directory containing images

$dirhandle = opendir($directory);
while ($filename = opendir($dirhandle)) {
if (ereg(".jpg$", $filename) || ereg(".gif$", $filename)) {
echo "<P>";
echo "<IMG SRC=\"$directory/$filename\">";
echo "</P>\n"
}
}
