I'd like to draw some simple rectangles--maybe have some text and a 7x5
(dimensions) rectangle beside it.

Is there an easy way to do this, or should I just create some images?

to do this in PHP have a look at the ImageLine function.

Draw this on what? 7x5 whats? Pixels? Inches? How often do you want to
do this?

A pencil, paper and a stencil is a good start..

Or you could do it on a browser with HTML.

Not sure any of this is relevant to PHP tho.

Use GD lib. It should be pretty easy with this:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagerectangle.php

Or even easier, Google his phrase "GD lib draw rectangle tutorial".

Probably simpler, but learning how to use GD lib is also a worthwhile
activity - and you can then make different sized rectangles on the fly.
