How can PHP.ini or .htaccess be utilized to parse PHP as .jpg for image generation in forums?

To parse PHP as .jpg for image generation in forums, you can utilize the .htaccess file to tell the server to treat PHP files as image files. This can be achieved by adding a directive in the .htaccess file to set the handler for .jpg files to the PHP handler. Additionally, you can also modify the PHP.ini file to allow PHP code to be executed within .jpg files.

<FilesMatch "\.(jpg|jpeg)$">
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
