Answer 1

The image gallery you are talking about is actually a client-side script and built using JavaScript. It is not affected by the underlying server langauge you are using, i this case PHP.

There are hundreds of different JavaScript image galleries. Try this article for a starting point: 35 Useful jQuery Plugins for Slideshows, Graphs and Text Effects

From my own knowledge, the best JavaScript gallery is built on top of jQuery and called Colorbox
