Are there best practices for handling image animation in PHP, such as using client-side methods like canvas?

When handling image animation in PHP, it is generally recommended to use client-side methods like HTML5 canvas for better performance and smoother animations. This allows the browser to handle the rendering of images and animations, reducing the load on the server. PHP can still be used to generate and manipulate images before passing them to the client-side script for animation. 

<?php
// PHP code to generate and manipulate images

// Generate image
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg('image.jpg');

// Manipulate image (e.g. resize, crop, add text)

// Output image to client-side script
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($image);

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