Are there any specific PHP functions or libraries that are recommended for implementing a feature that allows users to insert text into images through a form?

One recommended approach for allowing users to insert text into images through a form in PHP is to use the GD library, which provides functions for image manipulation. Specifically, the `imagefttext()` function can be used to add text to an image. Users can input the text through a form, which is then processed by the PHP script to dynamically generate the image with the text. 

<?php
// Create a blank image
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg('path/to/blank/image.jpg');

// Set the text color
$textColor = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);

// Get the text input from the form
$text = $_POST['text'];

// Add text to the image
imagefttext($image, 20, 0, 10, 50, $textColor, 'path/to/font.ttf', $text);

// Output the image
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($image);

// Free up memory
imagedestroy($image);
?>
