I'm not a PHP developer myself, but I've heard good things about
ImageMagick (www.imagemagick.org) It will do what you want but it
doesn't have an easy, native interface to PHP from what I understand.

There is a PHP extension available (http://php.chregu.tv/imagick/) that
exposes some functionality and I also found a page
(http://www.snipe.net/geek/toolz/imagemagick.php?show_source=yes) that
shows an example of running imagemagick on the command line within PHP
to create a thumbnail.

Hope this gets you started.
