What are some recommended resources or tutorials for beginners looking to implement image uploads in PHP without the GD-Library?

When implementing image uploads in PHP without the GD-Library, a good alternative is using the Imagick extension. Imagick provides a powerful set of functions for image manipulation and processing. To use Imagick for image uploads, you can install the extension on your server and then modify your PHP code to utilize its functions for handling image uploads.

// Check if file is uploaded
if(isset($_FILES['image'])){
    $file = $_FILES['image'];
    
    // Check if file is an image
    if(getimagesize($file['tmp_name'])){
        $imagick = new Imagick($file['tmp_name']);
        
        // Save the image to a specific directory
        $imagick->writeImage('uploads/' . $file['name']);
        
        echo 'Image uploaded successfully!';
    } else {
        echo 'File is not an image.';
    }
}
