You can use a function called glob(). It uses a pattern to search for the required files. If all you have in that directory are images, you can use the following:

http://php.net/glob

php Code:

<?php
foreach (glob("*") as $szFilename) {
    echo '<img src="' . $szFilename . '" alt="Image" />';
}
?>

Database would be overkill for a simple thing like this which can be achieved using one function unless you want to output more information regarding the file like titles, short description, tags and much more..
