How to replace black background with white when resizing/converting PNG images with transparent backgrounds to JPEG.

Question

I am using a script that lets users upload images. The script resizes and converts the images to JPEG.

The problem I have is when a PNG with transparency is uploaded

switch($image_extension){
  case 'gif':
  case 'GIF':
    $image_orig_resource = imagecreatefromgif($image_orig_path);
    break;
  case 'png':
  case 'PNG':
    $image_orig_resource = imagecreatefrompng($image_orig_path);
    break;
  case 'jpg':
  case 'jpeg':
  case 'JPG':
  case 'JPEG':
    $image_orig_resource = imagecreatefromjpeg($image_orig_path);
    break;
  default:
    throw new Exception('Extension not supported');
}

$image_resource = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
imagefill($image_resource, 0, 0, imagecolorallocate($image_resource, 255, 255, 255));  // white background;

imagecopyresampled($image_resource, $image_orig_resource, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height, $image_orig_width, $image_orig_height);

imagejpeg($image_resource, $image_path, 100); // quality: [0-100]
