I haven't worked on morphing software myself, so I could be wrong here.
However, I do know someone who has and we've discussed how it's done
(at least as much as he can - he works for the government and much of
his work is classified).

I'm not sure this would be reasonable in PHP. Morphing requires a huge
number of CPU cycles and is a heavy load even in a compiled language. I
don't know the algorithms (which themselves are protected by the
governments and companies writing this type of software), but do
understand they are tremendous CPU hogs. I suspect doing them in PHP
would take forever, even if you could get your hands on the algorithms used.

It would be an interesting project - but I think in this case PHP is not
a good choice.
