<?php $hp=$_GET["hp"]; ?>

<img src='line.jpg' width='<?php echo $hp; ?>' height='5px' />

If it's 1 pixel large, stretching it is the best option. If, let's say you have hearts (like in Zelda), then you would need to repeat it using a simple for loop:

 

<?php
$lives = 4;

for ( $i = 0; $i < $lives; $i++ ) {
    echo '<img src="/images/heart.png" alt="<3" /> ';
}

?>
