How do I keep the transparency in resized gifs? < RESOLVED >

[killerb]

. . . and why can't i find anything about it already!!?

I have this process:

[code]<?php
move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$name]['tmp_name'],$dest);
$image_p = imagecreatetruecolor($tile_oblique_width, $h);
$image = imagecreatefromgif($dest);
imagecopyresampled($image_p, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $tile_oblique_width, $h, $dims['0'], $dims['1']);
$image = imagegif($image_p,$dest);

?>
[/code]

Problem is that I get a nasty black background where it should be transparent.

If I just move_uploaded_file without resizing, it is transparent as I want.

Is there actually a way to do this? - There must be!

Cheers.

[code]
<?php
// The file
$filename = 'test.jpg';
$percent = 0.5;

// Content type
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');

// Get new dimensions
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($filename);
$new_width = $width * $percent;
$new_height = $height * $percent;

// Resample
$image_p = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);
imagecopyresampled($image_p, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height);

// Output
imagejpeg($image_p, null, 100);
?>
[/code]

[quote="manual"]The transparent color is a property of the image, transparency is not a property of the color.[/quote]

You need to set it for the new image

[code]<?php
$ct = imagecolorat($image_p, 0,0);
imagecolortransparent($image_p, $ct);
imagegif($image_p, $dest);

imagedestroy($image_p);  // don't forget these lines
imagedestroy($image);
?>[/code]

Well, yeah, jpeg is working fine, of course it doesn't give me transparency.

Adding imagecolortransparent works for .png, but not for gif. As well, the png is aliased to black matt. It is pretty clear that this is a realm of PHP I need to study, so I will do that sometime soon.

For the meantime, I must get on with it. This project is getting bigger and bigger by the day.

If creating gif or png, try imagecreate instead of imagecreatetruecolor
