I made one of these in PHP.

First make the PHP script, start out by explicitly defining the output header:
<?php
header("Content-type: image/png"); Then go on to use ImageCreate() and related functions to generate the image data, and write it with ImagePng() [full docs on php.net].
Once your script is complete (ie, you can go to
http://www.blah.com/yourscript.php and have it output the image), you can use Apache's modRewrite to modify incoming HTTP requests to reroute yourscript.png to yourscript.php internally. It will appear to others as if it's a valid static image file, but of course it's not
