Well you must have been doing something wrong. The code from the linked duplicate with a couple of lines added to load and save the image:

$im = imagecreatefrompng(PATH_TO_ROOT."var/tmp/7Nsft.png");

$srcWidth = imagesx($im);
$srcHeight = imagesy($im);

$nWidth = intval($srcWidth / 4);
$nHeight = intval($srcHeight /4);

$newImg = imagecreatetruecolor($nWidth, $nHeight);
imagealphablending($newImg, false);
imagesavealpha($newImg,true);
$transparent = imagecolorallocatealpha($newImg, 255, 255, 255, 127);
imagefilledrectangle($newImg, 0, 0, $nWidth, $nHeight, $transparent);
imagecopyresampled($newImg, $im, 0, 0, 0, 0, $nWidth, $nHeight,
    $srcWidth, $srcHeight);

imagepng($newImg, PATH_TO_ROOT."var/tmp/newTest.png");

Produces the image:
