Example #1 imagecolortransparent() example
<?php
// Create a 55x30 image
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(55, 30
$red = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 0, 0
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0
// Make the background transparent
imagecolortransparent($im, $black
// Draw a red rectangle
imagefilledrectangle($im, 4, 4, 50, 25, $red
// Save the image
imagepng($im, './imagecolortransparent.png'
imagedestroy($im
?>

Notes
Note: Transparency is copied only with imagecopymerge() and true color images, not with imagecopy() or pallete images.
Note: The transparent color is a property of the image, transparency is not a property of the color. Once you have set a color to be the transparent color, any regions of the image in that color that were drawn previously will be transparent.
