php GD create a transparent png image

Question

I\'m trying to create a transparent png image and layer various other pngs and jpgs to create a final png with transparency. I\'m having trouble creating my initial empty tr

Answer 1

This code worked for me:

$img=imagecreatetruecolor(180,20);
imagealphablending($img,false);

$col=imagecolorallocatealpha($img,255,255,255,127);
imagefilledrectangle($img,0,0,180,20,$col);
imagealphablending($img,true);

$font=$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].'/fonts/Arial.ttf';
$color = imagecolorallocate($img, 140, 173, 209);
imagettftext($img,11,0,5,14,$color,$font,'Text goes here'); 

header('Content-Type: image/png');
imagealphablending($img,false);
imagesavealpha($img,true);
imagepng($img);
