How can negative values in image manipulation functions in PHP be handled to avoid unexpected errors and maintain image integrity?

When negative values are passed into image manipulation functions in PHP, it can lead to unexpected errors such as image distortion or manipulation outside the image boundaries. To handle negative values, you can check for them before applying any image manipulation functions and either ignore them or adjust them to valid values to maintain image integrity. 

// Example code snippet to handle negative values in image manipulation functions
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg('example.jpg');
$width = imagesx($image);
$height = imagesy($image);

// Check and adjust negative values
$newWidth = max(0, $width + $negativeValue);
$newHeight = max(0, $height + $negativeValue);

// Perform image manipulation functions with adjusted values
$resizedImage = imagescale($image, $newWidth, $newHeight);

// Output or save the manipulated image
imagejpeg($resizedImage, 'output.jpg');

// Free up memory
imagedestroy($image);
imagedestroy($resizedImage);
