Answer 2

the PHP function to make a directory is mkdir.
In you case you would have:

if(!is_dir("Animals")){ mkdir("Animals"); }

Always verify that the folder does not already exists.
The above PHP statement presumes that the "Animals" folder will be a subfolder in the folder containing your current PHP file. Otherwise you will need to define a relative path i.e.

if(!is_dir("../Myfolder/Animals")){ mkdir("../Myfolder//Animals"); }

In this case "Animals" will be a subfolder of "Myfolder" which is one level above the folder where your PHP scripts is called from.
