Simple game design overview please

Hi

Firstly let me say, and without false modesty, im a complete php noob.
Im planning on converting a simple game from python to a class using,
php powered web site. There follows my requirements.

1. Page displays a jpeg image from a folder on the server
im guessing here that on first page load php could read the file names
into an array, then subsequently get image names from the array.

2. Page displays image filename (without file extension) as a title to
the displayed image

3. Page displays next picture if any keyboard key is pressed or image
is clicked on.

From what ive read so far, capturing keyboard events requires

javascript (thus requiring the game page to be simple html?)

I'd really appreciate some advice on how to get started. What
technologies should be used and where?
many thanks

Paul

if you want the game to play seamlessly w/ out seeing you browser busy
icon spin, use ajax :)
