Are there any best practices for handling image rotation and manipulation in PHP, especially when the GD-Lib extension is not available?

When the GD-Lib extension is not available in PHP, handling image rotation and manipulation can be challenging. One solution is to use the Imagick extension, which provides similar functionality for image processing tasks. By using Imagick, you can rotate and manipulate images without relying on the GD-Lib extension. 

// Check if Imagick extension is available
if(extension_loaded('imagick')) {
    // Load the image file
    $image = new Imagick('image.jpg');

    // Rotate the image by 90 degrees
    $image->rotateImage(new ImagickPixel(), 90);

    // Save the rotated image
    $image->writeImage('rotated_image.jpg');

    // Destroy the Imagick object
    $image->destroy();
} else {
    echo 'Imagick extension is not available.';
}
