How to manage links in an automatic way? - php

Question

In my project's homepage there must be some images, these must link to other pages. Now, I want to manage these links in an automatic way using PHP. The only idea I came up with is to make a form and insert the images into some buttons and make their background invisible.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<h3>FRESH ALBUMS</h3>
</div>
</div>
<div id="myline"></div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">
<img src="contentimg/abbeyroad.jpg" height="200px" width="200px">
<div class="caption">
<h4>Beatles</h4>
</div>
<p> test</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">TEST2</div>
<div class="col-md-3">TEST3</div>
<div class="col-md-3">TEST4</div>
</div>
</div>
This is the HTML at the moment. I just want to know if there are better ideas, options and if it will stay responsive. Thanks in advance.

I do not understand exactly what you are asking, but I cannot leave comments so I will try to answer what I think you are asking.
For the HTML part, you don't need a form with buttons, you can make hyperlinks out of the images instead, and the PHP can get the images to match the hyperlinks when it sends the page to your users browser. The PHP code would look like:
echo "
<a href='".$newPageLink."'>
<img src='".$imageLocation."' width='100px' height='100px'>
</a>";
Where $newPageLink is a variable in your PHP script that holds the path information for your hyperlink, and $imageLocation is the path information for where the image is stored.
All you need is a foreach or while loop to go through all of the images that you want on the page and also all of the pages that each image should link to. If it is always a manageable and unchanging list, you could store the values in an array in your script. For larger lists, or lists that are dynamic/always changing you might need to use a MySQL database table to store the image and hyperlink information.
