Say the images are in a folder called /gallery/

Within that, I have an index.php that is manually coded to have
thumbnails of the images displayed in a grid. Important to note:
they're in a very specific (artistic) order. Each one of those
thumbnails is linked to one and the same popup.php file that is simply
another php file that expects an $ID passed to it. That $ID, which
again is hard coded in index.html, tells popup.php which file to
display. (that $ID is basically the file name of the image, so I can
append it to the <img /> tag as the page loads.

So you see, I have no array of anything. The index.html file gets
manually edited every time something is added or removed. This is why
I'd like a programmatic way of a) generating that file, so that the
client can add/remove images as they see fit, and b) be able to have
prev/next buttons on the popup window.

Does that make sense?
