PHP Image quality issue on rotating and merging

When i merge two images as one background and the other as target image. I m using pngs. When I rotate the target image and then merge, yes everything is fine except that the edges of rotated image becomes zigzag i means not smooth. How to make the edges smooth using php GD???

The code I am using:

<?php

// Create image instances

$dest = imagecreatefrompng('bg.png');
$src = imagecreatefrompng('text.png');
$width = imagesx($src);
$height = imagesy($src);
imageantialias($src, true);
$color = imagecolorallocatealpha($src, 0, 0, 0, 127);
$rotated = imagerotate($src, 40, $color);
imagesavealpha($rotated, true);

// $trans_colour = imagecolorallocatealpha($rotated, 0, 0, 0, 127);
// imagefill($rotated, 0, 0, $trans_colour);

imagepng($rotated, 'shahid.png');
$new_img = imagecreatefrompng('shahid.png?');
$width = imagesx($new_img);
$height = imagesy($new_img);

// imagecopymerge($dest, $new_img, 50, 50, 0, 0, $width+60, $height+60, 100);

imagecopymerge_alpha($dest, $new_img, 0, 20, 0, 0, $width, $height, 100);

// Output and free from memory

header('Content-Type: image/png');
imagepng($dest);
imagedestroy($dest);
imagedestroy($src);

function imagecopymerge_alpha($dst_im, $src_im, $dst_x, $dst_y, $src_x, $src_y, $src_w, $src_h, $pct)
{
    if (!isset($pct)) {
        return false;
    }

    $pct/= 100;

    // Get image width and height

    $w = imagesx($src_im);
    $h = imagesy($src_im);

    // Turn alpha blending off

    imagealphablending($src_im, false);

    // Find the most opaque pixel in the image (the one with the smallest alpha value)

    $minalpha = 127;
    for ($x = 0; $x < $w; $x++)
    for ($y = 0; $y < $h; $y++) {
        $alpha = (imagecolorat($src_im, $x, $y) >> 24) & 0xFF;
        if ($alpha < $minalpha) {
            $minalpha = $alpha;
        }
    }

    // loop through image pixels and modify alpha for each

    for ($x = 0; $x < $w; $x++) {

            // get current alpha value (represents the TANSPARENCY!)

            $colorxy = imagecolorat($src_im, $x, $y);
            $alpha = ($colorxy >> 24) & 0xFF;

            // calculate new alpha

            if ($minalpha !== 127) {
                $alpha = 127 + 127 * $pct * ($alpha - 127) / (127 - $minalpha);
            }
            else {
                $alpha+= 127 * $pct;
            }

            // get the color index with new alpha

            $alphacolorxy = imagecolorallocatealpha($src_im, ($colorxy >> 16) & 0xFF, ($colorxy >> 8) & 0xFF, $colorxy & 0xFF, $alpha);

            // set pixel with the new color + opacity

            if (!imagesetpixel($src_im, $x, $y, $alphacolorxy)) {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }

    // The image copy

    imagecopy($dst_im, $src_im, $dst_x, $dst_y, $src_x, $src_y, $src_w, $src_h);
}

?>

I had this in an old project and worked for me. Anyway, I don't remember if my pngs had really alpha transparency or "gif" transparency...

$image = imagecreatefrompng($href);
$newImage = imagecreatefrompng($href2);
imagealphablending($image, true);
imagealphablending($newImage, true);
$newImage = imagerotate($newImage, $r, -1);
$blue = imagecolorallocate($newImage, 0, 0,255);
imagecolortransparent($newImage, $blue);
imagecopy($image,$newImage,$x,$y,0,0,imagesx($newImage) , imagesy($newImage));

From the manual, in that case, imagealphablending should be replaced by imagesavealpha
