phpMyAdmin is one tool for creating and managing MySQL databases:
http://www.phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin/
It shows you the SQL statements that it's using to do everything so it's a relatively easy way to start creating databases using PHP and learn some SQL on the side.
A table dump is basically a set of SQL statements which define a table's structure and/or data.
GD is an extension for PHP (and Perl) that allows you to do graphics stuff like create and manipulate images. It's available here:

once you've got it you can use all these functions:
