How do I resize pngs with transparency in PHP?

From what I can tell, you need to set the blending mode to false, and the save alpha channel flag to true before you do the imagecolorallocatealpha()

<?php
/**

 * 
 * @param resource $image
 * @param int $newWidth
 * @param int $newHeight
 * @return resource
 */
public function getImageResized($image, int $newWidth, int $newHeight) {
    $newImg = imagecreatetruecolor($newWidth, $newHeight);
    imagealphablending($newImg, false);
    imagesavealpha($newImg, true);
    $transparent = imagecolorallocatealpha($newImg, 255, 255, 255, 127);
    imagefilledrectangle($newImg, 0, 0, $newWidth, $newHeight, $transparent);
    $src_w = imagesx($image);
    $src_h = imagesy($image);
    imagecopyresampled($newImg, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newWidth, $newHeight, $src_w, $src_h);
    return $newImg;
}
?>

UPDATE : This code is working only on background transparent with opacity = 0. If your image have 0 < opacity < 100 it'll be black background.


Here is a final solution that is working fine for me.

function resizePng($im, $dst_width, $dst_height) {
    $width = imagesx($im);
    $height = imagesy($im);

    $newImg = imagecreatetruecolor($dst_width, $dst_height);

    imagealphablending($newImg, false);
    imagesavealpha($newImg, true);
    $transparent = imagecolorallocatealpha($newImg, 255, 255, 255, 127);
    imagefilledrectangle($newImg, 0, 0, $width, $height, $transparent);
    imagecopyresampled($newImg, $im, 0, 0, 0, 0, $dst_width, $dst_height, $width, $height);

    return $newImg;
}

The filling of the new image with a transparent colour is also required (as Dycey coded but I'm guessing forgot to mention :)), not just the 'strategic' saving by itself.

IIRC, you also need to be sure PNGs are 24bit, ie truecolor, and not 8bit to avoid buggy behaviour.
