Using images with php and sql

[Dale Woods]

I am creating a website that will use static images that wont change on certain pages, similar to the way clothing stores do with pictures of their clothes.

What is the best way to do this? Do i store each image in a directory and store the imagepath in the database? and then use html to fetch the image?

Also, i want the user to click on each image to display more information (eg. clicking on an image of a jumper to display more information on it such as the size etc). Will I have to create a new file for EVERY image I use?? or is there a more efficient way of doing this?

PLS PLS PLS HELP!!!

Thanks
