Is it possible to automatically remove white borders from a jpg or png image using PHP after uploading?

When uploading a jpg or png image with white borders, it is possible to automatically remove these borders using PHP by utilizing image processing functions such as imagecolorat() and imagecopyresampled(). By analyzing the image pixels and determining the borders, we can crop the image accordingly to remove the white borders. 

```php
// Load the image
$image = imagecreatefrompng('image.png');

// Find the dimensions of the image
$width = imagesx($image);
$height = imagesy($image);

// Find the top-left corner of the non-white area
$topLeftX = 0;
$topLeftY = 0;
for ($x = 0; $x < $width; $x++) {
    for ($y = 0; $y < $height; $y++) {
        $color = imagecolorat($image, $x, $y);
        $rgb = imagecolorsforindex($image, $color);
        if ($rgb['red'] < 250 || $rgb['green'] < 250 || $rgb['blue'] < 250) {
            $topLeftX = $x;
            $topLeftY = $y;
            break 2;
        }
    }
}

// Find the bottom-right corner of the non-white area
$bottomRightX = $width - 1;
$bottomRightY = $height - 1;
for ($x = $width - 1; $x >= 0; $x--) {
    for ($y = $height - 1; $y >= 0; $y--) {
        $color = imagecolorat($image, $x, $y);
        $rgb = imagecolorsforindex($image, $color);
        if ($rgb['red'] < 250 || $rgb['green'] < 250 || $rgb['blue'] < 250) {
            $bottomRightX = $x;
            $bottomRightY = $y;
            break 2;
        }
    }
}

// Create a new image without the white borders
$newImage = imagecreatetruecolor($bottomRightX - $topLeftX + 1, $bottomRightY - $topLeftY + 1);
imagecopyresampled($newImage, $image, 0, 0, $topLeftX, $topLeftY, $bottomRightX - $topLeftX + 1,
