Hi,
im trying to create a transparent png or gif with php and assign a text with imagettftext - function, but not very succesful yet. As gdlib does no more support gifs as far as i know id like to createimage() a new transparent png that unfortunately is displayed black. What am i missing?
Thanks

thanks a lot. ive already found a different way. create a png with a certain background color, then make this color transparent with
imagecolortransparent($im,$bgc);
cheers, j.
