I *believe* the current state of the art on this stands as follows:

GD now supports animated GIFs.
PHP does not (yet) have the GD functions in its GD extension.

So your two simplest options I can see are:

#1. Add the GD animated GIF functions to PHP source and submit it as a
patch.

#2. Create the individual frames in GD, and then use
http://php.net/exec with ImageMagick (or similar) to composit the
individual frames into a single animated GIF.

I haven't actually LOOKED at the GD section of the manual in a while,
so maybe the animation functions have been added...
