Did you read the manual page you linked to?  GIF is not supported by all 
version of GD, and I'd be willing to bet yours doesn't support it, hence 
no imagegif function.

Also, using eval like that is just nasty, you should really be doing 
something more like the example code found on that page and at 
http://www.php.net/imagetypes

That is quite disgusting.  I hope that all PHP developers snub their
nose at any such absurdity - otherwise, PHP has a very long way to go.

This is probably a silly answer, but:

-- but if possible, do it in the DB.
-- otherwise, select all records from the DB, process in PHP, and reload
the DB.  Don't forget to lock the database if concurrency is a concern.

Sometimes string manipulation is too complex for any database.  But, if
possible, do the process in the DB with a function or two.  If things
get too sticky, then a real programming language like PHP is in order.

I've always done this by compiling from source, but maybe:

make reinstall

would help?  Maybe even a:

make deinstall

first, then a make install from the ports.
