Using the word "convert" suggests that it's a simple format switch, but 
it isn't. EPS is not a bitmap format, it's a vector format that needs to 
be interpreted by an apporpriate engine. In other words, you need to 
*render* or *raster* the file.

I don't know if anyone took the time to write a decent EPS engine in 
pure PHP but, if I recall correctly, the ImageMagick [1] command line 
utilities offer some sort of support for PostScript files (though I'm 
sure the result is not good). A third-party program is probably your 
best chance.
