It may not be possible using PHP's internal functions.
PHP has a set of image-processing functions, but those functions depend on the GD library ( to operate.
The GD library used to support GIF format, but the GIF format for images is patented, so the author removed support for GIFs from the libary. The patent on GIFs expired in the U.S. 2003-06-20, but does not expire in other countries until 2004-07-07, so the author has decided to wait until then before reimplementing GIFs in the library.
