Complex Image Gallery

Someone help! I want to make a database of images with variables for each one (author, date, category, etc.) and I would like to make it viewable in an image gallery. The exact process which I am trying to accomplish is the following:

1) User logs in via user/password database. (I know how to do this.)

2) User uploads file w/thumbnail to specific folders, say /thumbs/ and /images/ and selects category for image (from drop down menu). (Script grabs user's nickname, and date; an e-mail is sent to me saying User has uploaded certain files)

3) I review image, and post it in a form, which is made just for me.

4) The information I put through the form (User, date, category, image locations) is added to a database (Say "images")

5) Tough part: An image gallery of thumbs, viewable by anyone, displays 6 items from the database on each page. The user can view all categories, or images from a select category. Once an item is clicked on, a new page comes up with the full sized version of that image.

I hope someone could help me! I've been trying to figure this out for a few days now, and looked through dozens of tutorials. Nothing is working.

Thanks so much!
Andrew
