I don't really know that much php and i have no idea how i would accomplish this

Could you just use something like Gallery?

If not, I've done some work on that, you can check this link:

I haven't looked at that since early summer, so I can't say I know what I did, but if you can't figure out what I did, I'd be more than happy to look back at it and help you. I believe the only problem should be mess and such, cause I never actually cleaned that code up.

Specifically, look at the following code, though it will need to be modified for your purposes:

 function Thumbnails ($pics, $root, $thumbnails) {
#Pre: $pics is filled
#Post: Thumbnails are created for every new picture in directory

	if ( !is_dir($thumbnails)) {
		mkdir ($thumbnails);
		chmod ($thumbnails, 0755); 
	}
	else if (is_dir ($thumbnails)) {
		for ($i = 0; $i < count($pics); $i++) {
			if (!is_file($thumbnails . '/' . $pics[$i])) {
				exec ("convert $root/$pics[$i] -resize 150x150 +profile '*' $thumbnails/$pics[$i]");
				chmod ("$thumbnails/$pics[$i]", 0755);
			}
		}

Hope that helps.
