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?

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.

To people who know nothing, anything is possible.
To people who know too much, it is a sad fact
that they know how little is really possible -
and how hard it is to achieve it.

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.
