PHP does support image creation but it's not build-in, it assumes that 
you've got the GD library.
the GIF support of the GD library is de-activated since the GIF affair, but 
you can find an old version.

anyway, i tried the GD, but i didn't liked it.
rather use the PERL library image::magik, it's very complete, scalable and 
versatile

http://www.php.net/manual/ref.image.php

there are image magik php functions, but only in PHP3 and i didn't found 
them on the php site.
