What best practices should be followed when working with image files in PHP to avoid common display issues like the one mentioned in the forum thread?

The common display issue mentioned in the forum thread is likely related to incorrect image file handling, such as not specifying the correct image type or not setting the proper content headers. To avoid such issues, always specify the correct image type when working with image files in PHP and set the appropriate content headers to ensure proper display on the browser. 

<?php
// Specify the correct image type
$image_path = 'path/to/image.jpg';
$image_type = pathinfo($image_path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

// Set the appropriate content headers
header('Content-Type: image/' . $image_type);

// Output the image
readfile($image_path);
?>
