fputs($file, $image);

Answer 1

Another way to convert transparent png to jpg, as mentioned in Imagick::flattenImages:

$im = new Imagick('image.png');
$im->setImageBackgroundColor('white');

$im->flattenImages(); // This does not do anything.
$im = $im->flattenImages(); // Use this instead.

$im->setImageFormat('jpg');
$im->writeImage('image.jpg');

As time moves on, flattenImages() has been deprecated.
Instead of the line above use:

$im->mergeImageLayers(Imagick::LAYERMETHOD_FLATTEN);
