Answer 1

It's basically making use of mkdir, however you might want to wrap this into a class of it's own so you can later on better bind it to a user-name or ID to move away from concrete pathnames:

$userDir = new UserDir($pathToUserDir);
$userDir->createImageDirectory();

class UserDir extends SplFileInfo
{
    public function createThumbDirectory()
    {
        return $this->createSubdirectory('thumb');
    }
    public function createImageDirectory()
    {
        return $this->createSubdirectory('image');
    }
    private function createSubdirectory($name)
    {
        $path = $this->getPathname();
        $dir = $path . PATH_SEPARATOR . $name;
        return mkdir($dir);
    }
}

You can then extend this with error condition checking in a central place, so it's easy to use in your application.
