How can the getimagesize() function be utilized to enforce size restrictions on avatar images uploaded to a server?

When users upload avatar images to a server, it is important to enforce size restrictions to ensure that the images do not exceed a certain limit. This can help prevent server storage issues and maintain a consistent design on the website. The getimagesize() function in PHP can be utilized to check the dimensions of the uploaded image and compare them against the desired size restrictions. 

// Check if the uploaded file is an image
if (getimagesize($_FILES["avatar"]["tmp_name"]) !== false) {
    $image_info = getimagesize($_FILES["avatar"]["tmp_name"]);
    
    // Set the maximum dimensions for the avatar image
    $max_width = 200;
    $max_height = 200;
    
    // Check if the image exceeds the maximum dimensions
    if ($image_info[0] > $max_width || $image_info[1] > $max_height) {
        echo "Error: Avatar image dimensions exceed the maximum allowed size.";
    } else {
        // Process the uploaded image
        move_uploaded_file($_FILES["avatar"]["tmp_name"], "uploads/" . $_FILES["avatar"]["name"]);
        echo "Avatar image uploaded successfully.";
    }
} else {
    echo "Error: Uploaded file is not a valid image.";
}
