Hello, I need help rotating a .gif with a transparent background in php. I have php 5.2.8 and GD version bundled (2.0.34). Below is that code that I currently have I developed it from a variety of sources. The background appears to be black when I run it by itself. However, I tried to add this code to the file that I intend to use it in and I prints a bunch of stuff that I don't understand. Once, I have the code to rotate the image 180 degrees and keep the transparent background. I would like to use it in a .php file where I will insert the new image in an HTML table. <?php header( "Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT" ); header( "Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT" ); header( "Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate" ); header( "Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false ); header( "Pragma: no-cache" ); $imagepath="blkpc6.gif"; $degrees=180; $image=imagecreatefromgif($imagepath); imagealphablending($image, false); imagesavealpha($image,true); $transparent = imagecolorallocatealpha($image, 255, 255, 255, 127); $rotate = imagerotate($image, $degrees, $transparent); header('Content-Type: image/gif'); imagegif($rotate); imagedestroy($rotate); imagedestroy($image); ?> Please, help me solve this problem. I have tried to solve it to no end the last couple of days with no luck. Thank you for your help.
