I can't use transparent background with imagecopymerge

I am calling imagecopymerge($dst_r开发者_运维问答, $logo, 0, 0, 0, 0, $LogoX, $LogoY, 100); where $logo is a png file with transparent background. From some reason the background comes out white instead.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

You need to use imagealphablending($dst_r, TRUE); to allow copying with retaining the transparent colors. Many more comments (...) in the manual suggest using imagecopy instead, because imagecopymerge was never intended to be used with transparency. If you use pct=100 anyway, then the normal imagecopy might be an option.

This is for text, but you can get the point. It would be more helpful if you post entire code.

$font = 25;
$string = "Hello";
$im = @imagecreatetruecolor(strlen($string) * $font / 1.5, $font);
imagesavealpha($im, true);
imagealphablending($im, false);
$white = imagecolorallocatealpha($im, 255, 255, 255, 127);
imagefill($im, 0, 0, $white);
$lime = imagecolorallocate($im, 204, 255, 51);
imagettftext($im, $font, 0, 0, $font - 3, $lime, "font.ttf", $string);
header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
