What is the purpose of using GD2 in PHP to generate PNG images and how can the browser background color be controlled?

To generate PNG images using GD2 in PHP, the purpose is to dynamically create images based on data or user input. To control the browser background color when displaying the generated image, you can set the background color of the image using the imagefilledrectangle() function before creating the PNG image. 

<?php
// Create a blank image with a white background
$image = imagecreatetruecolor(200, 200);
$white = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
imagefilledrectangle($image, 0, 0, 200, 200, $white);

// Add your image creation code here

// Set the header and output the image
header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($image);

// Free up memory
imagedestroy($image);
?>
