phplib doesn't have this kind of functionailty directly, but php does:
http://www.php.net/manual/class.dir.php
http://www.php.net/manual/function.readdir.php

Then you can use phplib database classes to add / retrive data for the
images. You should also look into getimgsize() to get the image heights
and width for forming proper HTML.
http://www.php.net/manual/function.getimagesize.php

I think I posted a simple class for image data parsing (Size and type)
here a while back, check the archives at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/
