What is the difference between PHP-GD bundled version and GD-Standalone in terms of functionality and usage?

The PHP-GD bundled version is a version of the GD library that comes pre-installed with PHP, while the GD-Standalone version is a separate library that needs to be installed separately. In terms of functionality, both versions offer similar image processing capabilities, but the GD-Standalone version may have more up-to-date features and bug fixes. In terms of usage, the PHP-GD bundled version is easier to use as it is already integrated with PHP, while the GD-Standalone version may require additional configuration.

// Example code snippet using PHP-GD bundled version
$image = imagecreate(200, 200);
$bg_color = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
imagestring($image, 5, 50, 50, 'Hello World', $text_color);
header('Content-Type: image/png');
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);
