What are the advantages and disadvantages of using PHP scripts for automated image resizing compared to using actions in Photoshop for batch processing?

Automated image resizing using PHP scripts allows for easily resizing multiple images at once without the need for manual intervention. This can save time and effort when dealing with a large number of images. However, using actions in Photoshop for batch processing may offer more control and customization options for resizing images. 

<?php
// PHP script for automated image resizing
$dir = 'images/';
$newDir = 'resized_images/';

$files = glob($dir . '*.{jpg,jpeg,png,gif}', GLOB_BRACE);

foreach($files as $file) {
    list($width, $height) = getimagesize($file);
    $newWidth = 500;
    $newHeight = ($height / $width) * $newWidth;

    $imageResized = imagecreatetruecolor($newWidth, $newHeight);
    $imageTmp = imagecreatefromjpeg($file);
    imagecopyresampled($imageResized, $imageTmp, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newWidth, $newHeight, $width, $height);

    $newFile = $newDir . basename($file);
    imagejpeg($imageResized, $newFile, 100);
}

echo 'Images resized successfully!';
?>
