Are there any best practices for handling image manipulation, such as rotating and resizing, in PHP?

When handling image manipulation in PHP, it is recommended to use the GD library, which provides functions for resizing, rotating, and manipulating images. This library allows you to create thumbnails, resize images, rotate them, and perform other common image manipulation tasks efficiently. 

// Example code snippet using GD library for resizing an image
$source_image = 'path/to/source/image.jpg';
$destination_image = 'path/to/destination/image.jpg';

list($width, $height) = getimagesize($source_image);
$new_width = 100; // New width for the resized image
$new_height = ($height / $width) * $new_width;

$source = imagecreatefromjpeg($source_image);
$destination = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);

imagecopyresampled($destination, $source, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height);

imagejpeg($destination, $destination_image);

imagedestroy($source);
imagedestroy($destination);
