What are the key considerations for displaying categorized images in the frontend using PHP?

When displaying categorized images in the frontend using PHP, key considerations include organizing images into appropriate folders or database tables based on categories, retrieving and displaying images based on selected categories, handling image file paths dynamically, and ensuring proper error handling for missing or invalid images. 

// Example PHP code snippet for displaying categorized images in the frontend

// Assuming we have categories stored in an array
$categories = ['nature', 'animals', 'food'];

// Function to display images based on selected category
function displayImagesByCategory($category) {
    $imageFolder = 'images/' . $category . '/'; // Path to image folder
    $imageFiles = glob($imageFolder . '*.{jpg,jpeg,png,gif}', GLOB_BRACE); // Get array of image files

    if (!empty($imageFiles)) {
        foreach ($imageFiles as $image) {
            echo '<img src="' . $image . '" alt="' . basename($image) . '">';
        }
    } else {
        echo 'No images found for this category.';
    }
}

// Example usage
$category = 'nature';
displayImagesByCategory($category);
