PHP relies on the gd library for those functions. gd library in turn
relies on the following:
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4004d000)
libpng.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x4006e000)
libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x40094000)
libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x400a3000)
libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x400c5000)
libttf.so.2 => /usr/lib/libttf.so.2 (0x40102000)
libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x4012e000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4013e000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4022a000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000)
So it does in fact require a minimal X installation.
