that's some pretty fancy GD library work, I'd imagine. Probably a lot of difficult coding. I'd start with google searching for a tutorial on GD and decide from there if it's worth it

The easiest way is first create all the alphabets and letters in animated gifs and then write a php code to detect the user's letters and generate html code that puts each letter in order see an example:

<a href=http://upl0ad.org/glitter><img alt="http://www.orkutrox.com" src="http://www.orkutrox.com/glitter/style/5/a.gif" /></a><a href=http://upl0ad.org/glitter><img alt="http://www.orkutrox.com" src="http://www.orkutrox.com/glitter/style/5/v.gif" /></a><a href=http://upl0ad.org/glitter><img alt="http://www.orkutrox.com" src="http://www.orkutrox.com/glitter/style/5/i.gif" /></a><a href=http://upl0ad.org/glitter><img alt="http://www.orkutrox.com" src="http://www.orkutrox.com/glitter/style/5/n.gif" /></a><br><a href="http://www.orkutrox.com"><b>Free Image Upload</b></a> | <a href=http://inviyahoo.com><b>Detect Invi Y! ID</b></a>

Edit:
I typed "Avin" in orkutrox.com and it generated the above code.

Seems to be more tough than i'd imagined....
Edit:
You can also do this by js I imagine....
try asking help from someone else too.... so that you'll get it done sooner, maybe!

Teensweb, that looks perfect! Except: ImageMagick 6.4 or above required

This is kinda what I feared. Regular GD doesn't support animated gifs. It's somewhat easy to create a static image from individual letters and stitching them together. It's only 3 images repeated over and over again, so realistically, you can repeat the process 3 times. The problem lies in taking the 3 gifs and stitching them together. My guess is you will have to create a binary string from the 3 images, append them together, then edit some of the meta data in the final gif to get it to animate correctly. Ew
