<?php
$dir_path = \"C:/appserv/www/images/\";
$dir_url = \"http://localhost:8080/images/\";

$num_cols = 1;
$max_rows = 4;

$ext = array(\"jpg\", \"png\", \"jpeg\", \"gif\", \"bmp\");
$files = array();

if( $handle = opendir($dir_path) )
{
    while ( false !== ($file = readdir($handle)) )
    {
        for($i=0;$i<sizeof($ext);$i++)
        {
            if(strstr($file, \".\".$ext[$i]))
            $files[] = $file;
        }
    }

       closedir($handle);
}

$total_images = count($files);

echo '<table width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"6\" cellspacing=\"5\" border=\"1\">';

$new_row = 1;
 
$limit = ($max_rows > $total_images) ? $total_images : $max_rows; 

for ($i = 0; $i < $limit; $i++)
{
    if ($new_row == 1)
    { 
        echo \"<tr>\"; 
    } 

echo <<<text

<td><img src=\"$dir_url{$files[$i]}\"></td>

text;

    if ( ($new_row == $num_cols) or ($i == ($limit - 1)) )
    { 
        echo \"</tr>\n\n\"; 
        $new_row = 1; 
    }
    else
    { 
        $new_row++; 
    } 
}

echo \"</table>\";
?>

Give that a whirl.
