Description

bool imagesavealpha ( resource image, bool saveflag )

You have to unset alphablending (imagealphablending($im, FALSE)), to use it.

Alpha channel is not supported by all browsers, if you have problem with your browser, try to load your script with an alpha channel compliant browser, e.g. latest Mozilla.
