I assume that you assume incorrectly--this sounds like a perfect job
for the select function [1].

But Mike, /why/ do you want to do this with a content element instead
of in the 'files' field in the 'Edit page properties dialogue'? Your
php sample shows a comma-separated list of images, and this is how
file references are stored in the pages table. To get what you want is
extremely simple in TS:

page.10 = HTML
page.10 {
  value {
    data = page:media
  }
}
