How can PHP developers effectively display generated graphics from one file in another file, as described in the forum thread?

To effectively display generated graphics from one file in another file in PHP, developers can use the imagepng() function to save the generated image to a file in the first file, and then use the imagecreatefrompng() function in the second file to load the saved image and display it on the webpage. 

// First file (generating graphics and saving to file)
$width = 200;
$height = 200;
$image = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
$white = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
imagefilledrectangle($image, 0, 0, $width, $height, $white);
imagepng($image, 'generated_image.png');
imagedestroy($image);

// Second file (displaying the generated image)
$image = imagecreatefrompng('generated_image.png');
header('Content-Type: image/png');
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);
