This is kind of like asking how to skin a cat -- there are many, many, 
many different ways to potentially do this, but you haven't given very 
much information on what you want to accomplish.

I assume you have a bunch of info with associated image data stored in 
a DB. Example of outputted HTML (generated via template/PHP somehow):

<a href="details.php?id=345"><img src="/path/to/img/from/db" alt="Alt 
from DB" border="0"></a>

So, clicking on the image would submit the url details.php?id=345 --> 
the details.php page would look up product 345 and generate a details 
page.
