Answer 1

I think you're asking how to echo a list of images, with that list wrapping to a new line every fifth item.
Given an array of results from a table (consider using PDO, by the way), I would do the following:
//$arr being the array
$x=1; //start counter
$list = '<ul>'; //using a list, because that's what it is
for($i=0;$i<count($arr);$i++) {
$list.='<li class="thumbnail-item">';
$thumb ='<a href="g_detail.php?id='.$arr[$i][id].'">';
$thumb.='<img src="images/'.$arr[$i][image_url].'" alt="" class="thumbnail g-size" /></a>';
$thumb.='<span><a href="g_detail.php?id='.$arr[$i][id].'>Readmore</a></span>';
$thumb.='<a class="gtbtn" href="g_buy.php?id='.$arr[$i][id].'">Get This</a>';
$list.=$thumb;
$list.='</li>';
if($x%5 == 0)||($x==count($arr)) {
$list.='</ul>';
if($x<count($arr)) {
$list.='<ul>';
}
}
$x++;
}
echo $list;
This is untested, but broadly speaking should work.

Use the remainder operator("%"). I don't know what your table structure looks like, but I am going to assume your product ID loads in sequential order, starting with 1.
In your WHILE loop, use the following:
$remainder = $id % 5;
if($remainder == 1){
//load my DIV with frame 1
}
else($remainder == 2){
//load my DIV with frame 2
}
