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.
