How can PHP be used to ensure that uploaded images meet specific size requirements without sacrificing user experience?

To ensure that uploaded images meet specific size requirements without sacrificing user experience, we can use PHP to check the dimensions of the uploaded image and resize it if necessary. This can be done by setting maximum width and height constraints and resizing the image accordingly. 

// Set maximum width and height constraints
$maxWidth = 800;
$maxHeight = 600;

// Get uploaded image dimensions
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);

// Check if dimensions exceed the maximum values
if ($width > $maxWidth || $height > $maxHeight) {
    // Resize the image
    $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);
    $newImage = imagescale($image, $maxWidth, $maxHeight);
    
    // Save the resized image
    imagejpeg($newImage, 'resized_image.jpg');
} else {
    // Use the original image
    move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], 'original_image.jpg');
}
