What are common pitfalls when using GDLib in PHP?

One common pitfall when using GDLib in PHP is not checking if the GD extension is enabled on the server before trying to use it. This can lead to errors or unexpected behavior if GDLib functions are called without the extension being available. To solve this issue, you can use the `extension_loaded()` function to check if GD is enabled before using any GDLib functions.

if (!extension_loaded('gd')) {
    die('GD extension is not enabled on this server');
}

// GDLib functions can be safely used here
