php - I can't use transparent background with imagecopymerge

Question

I am calling imagecopymerge($dst_r, $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.
