Populating a table with multiple images

I need to build a dynamic table that will display 4 columns x any number of rows, where each row x column combination contains an image a brief text. The user will see 4 images per row, and 4 sets of text, repeated for however many rows are required to show all the records.
Image urls and text come from a database where each database record is a image/text combination. Can someone give me a clue how to start this .
