Face detection in PHP

Does anybody know of a good way to do face detection in PHP? I came across some code here that claims to do this, but I can't seem to get it to work properly. I'd like to make this work (even though it will be slow) and any help you can give me would be really appreciated.

Here's the code from the link:

    public function __construct($detection_file = 'detection.dat') {
        if (is_file($detection_file)) {
            $this->detection_data = unserialize(file_get_contents($detection_file));
        } else {
            throw new Exception("Couldn't load detection data");
        }
        //$this->detection_data = json_decode(file_get_contents('data.js'));
    }

        }

        $this->canvas = imagecreatefromjpeg($file);
        $im_width = imagesx($this->canvas);
        $im_height = imagesy($this->canvas);
