What are common issues when using imageCreate() in PHP?

One common issue when using imageCreate() in PHP is that the function may not be available if the GD library is not installed or enabled on the server. To solve this issue, you can check if the function exists before using it and handle the situation accordingly.

php 
if (function_exists('imageCreate')) {
    // GD library is available, proceed with imageCreate()
    $image = imageCreate(200, 200);
    // Rest of your code here
} else {
    // GD library is not available, handle the situation
    echo 'GD library is not installed or enabled on this server';
}
