[SOLVED] PHP, GD & Image Transparency

[seanmt]

Hi,

 

I'm having a bit of trouble with PHP & GD. I want the background of the image to be transparent but when I create a new image using...

 

$im = imagecreatefrompng("backgrounds/bg7.png");

 

The resulting image just ends up with horrible black colour around the edge of it (as seen in the attached image). The original image can be seen here.

 

All help will be much appreciated.

Ah nevermind. I tried using imagesavealpha again but this time I used it correctly. Doh.

 

$im = imagecreatefrompng("backgrounds/bg7.png");

//
// misc operations on the image...
//

//JUST ADDED THESE 2 LINES TO MY CODE AND IT ALL WORKS FINE NOW
imagealphablending($im, false);
imagesavealpha($im, true);

imagepng($im);
