No disrespect intended, but I think this person is after an
open-source php/mysql based catalogue system:

http://www.koha.org/ is problably the best known.

Google is of course your friend (at least in this case)
http://obiblio.sourceforge.net/
http://www.phpmylibrary.org/

And there are likely more. Perhaps this list can come through with others.
