PHP 8.3.4 Released!

imagesavealpha

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.2, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

imagesavealphaInforma se a informação de canal alfa deve ser retida ao gravar imagens

Descrição

imagesavealpha(GdImage $image, bool $enable): bool

imagesavealpha() define a opção que determina se a informação completa do canal alfa deve ser retida (ao contrário de manter transparência de uma cor) ao gravar imagens. Isto somente é suportado para formatos de imagem que suportam informação de canal alfa completo, isto é, PNG, WebP e AVIF.

Nota: imagesavealpha() só faz sentido para imagens PNG, já que o canal alfa completo é sempre gravado para WebP e AVIF. Não pe recomendado confiar neste comportamento, pois ele pode mudar no futuro. Por isso, imagesavealpha() deve ser chamada deliberadamente também para imagens WebP e AVIF.

Mesclagem de alfa tem que ser desabilitada (imagealphablending($im, false)) para reter o canal alfa em primeiro lugar.

Parâmetros

image

Um objeto GdImage, retornado por uma das funções de criação de imagem, como imagecreatetruecolor().

enable

Informa se o canal alfa deve ou não ser retido. O padrão é false.

Valor Retornado

Retorna true em caso de sucesso ou false em caso de falha.

Registro de Alterações

Versão Descrição
8.0.0 O parâmetro image agora espera uma instância de GdImage; anteriormente, um resource gd válido era esperado.

Exemplos

Exemplo #1 Uso básico de imagesavealpha()

<?php
// Carrega uma imagem PNG com canal alfa
$png = imagecreatefrompng('./alphachannel_example.png');

// Desabilita mesclagem alfa
imagealphablending($png, false);

// Faz as operações desejadas

// Define a opção de gravação alfa
imagesavealpha($png, true);

// Mostra imagem no navegador
header('Content-Type: image/png');

imagepng($png);
imagedestroy($png);
?>

After much trial and error and gnashing of teeth I finally figured out how to composite a png with an 8-bit alpha onto a jpg. This was not obvious to me so I thought I'd share. Hope it helps.

I'm using this to create a framed thumbnail image:

<?php
// load the frame image (png with 8-bit transparency)
$frame = imagecreatefrompng('path/to/frame.png');

// load the thumbnail image
$thumb = imagecreatefromjpeg('path/to/thumbnail.jpg');

// get the dimensions of the frame, which we'll also be using for the
// composited final image.
$width = imagesx( $frame );
$height = imagesy( $frame );

// create the destination/output image.
$img=imagecreatetruecolor( $width, $height );

// enable alpha blending on the destination image.
imagealphablending($img, true);

// Allocate a transparent color and fill the new image with it.
// Without this the image will have a black background instead of being transparent.
$transparent = imagecolorallocatealpha( $img, 0, 0, 0, 127 );
imagefill( $img, 0, 0, $transparent );

// copy the thumbnail into the output image.
imagecopyresampled($img,$thumb,32,30,0,0, 130, 100, imagesx( $thumb ), imagesy( $thumb ) );

// copy the frame into the output image (layered on top of the thumbnail)
imagecopyresampled($img,$frame,0,0,0,0, $width,$height,$width,$height);

imagealphablending($img, false);

// save the alpha
imagesavealpha($img,true);

// emit the image
header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng( $img );

// dispose
imagedestroy($img);

// done.
exit;
?>

The comment left by "doggz at mindless dot com" will cause a duplication in layering of the transparent image - AlphaImageLoader loads the image as if it were a floating layer on top of the <img> element - so your image will double up.. so don't go thinking something very strange is happening with your PHP it's the silly browser ;)

The easiest (although not the best) way to get around this is to use the CSS background property instead of an image src - because as of yet you can't change an image's src dynamically using currently supported CSS:

<div style="width:200px; height:200px; background: url(my-trans-image.php); *background:url(); *filter:progid:
DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='my-trans-image.php', sizingMethod='scale');"></div>

The above (although not pretty) keeps the image loaded as a background for any good browser as they should ignore the starred (*) CSS items and should support Alpha PNGs natively. IE will listen to the starred items and blank out the background whilst applying it's AlphaLoader on top. Obviously you need to know the width and height of your image but you can get this using getimagesize() or just by hardcoding.

Downsides to know:

1. Unless the user has 'backgrounds enabled when printing' your image wont show up when the webpage is printed.

2. You can't stretch or shrink a background image - if you change the div's dimensions from that of the image you will stretch it in IE (due to the 'scale' property - which you can change for sake of standardness to 'crop') but you will crop it in any other browser.

3. Most browsers treat images and backgrounds differently, in load priority and in the way the user can interact with them.

Other Options:

Other methods resort to using JavaScript or Browser Detection on the Server Side.
