How can imagecreatetruecolor and imagecopyresampled functions be utilized to improve image quality in PHP?

Issue: When resizing images in PHP using the imagecopyresampled function, the image quality may degrade. To improve image quality, you can use the imagecreatetruecolor function to create a true color image and then use imagecopyresampled to copy and resample the image onto the new true color image. 

// Create a true color image
$newWidth = 500; // Specify the desired width
$newHeight = 300; // Specify the desired height
$newImage = imagecreatetruecolor($newWidth, $newHeight);

// Copy and resample the original image onto the new true color image
$originalImage = imagecreatefromjpeg('original.jpg'); // Load the original image
imagecopyresampled($newImage, $originalImage, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newWidth, $newHeight, imagesx($originalImage), imagesy($originalImage));

// Output the new image to a file
imagejpeg($newImage, 'resized.jpg');

// Free up memory
imagedestroy($newImage);
imagedestroy($originalImage);
