PHP variable problem

Here's my issue. At the moment, at my project site http://vcomics.co.cc/ and http://vcomics.co.cc/m/ (careful, there are a few nsfw ones in /m/) I have written a python script that autogenerates my html for me, and links all the pages together. in /m/, this leaves me with over 1700 html files. These are VERY painful to maintain, and take AGES to ftp to the server. I heard that PHP would enable me to make the page dynamic so 1700 pages would go to 1. I have read up and now understand the basic concept of php, but how:
1. make two links, that when clicked, change the image, and increment the link up by one (so 1.jpg goes to 2.jpg, 3.jpg) etc, almost like a next button, and how can I make it keep this on page refresh. Basically, I have 1700 images going from 1 to 1700 in a folder, and I want to be able to click through them with two buttons. How would I do this?

Please understand I come from a Python background, so PHP is alien to me. What books would you recommend to learn PHP?
