50% transparent png with PHP... no chance?
Hey folks!
I've a little problem here. I want to dynamically create a png image with PHP. the image should be 50% transparent! I think it is not possible with PHP...  When you create a image with imagecreate(width,height) it is completely black. So you can only draw on that black background... If you make that background transparent with imagecolortransparent the image is completely transparent. But when you add a 50% opaque rectangle, it is based on a black background. (a white rectangle simply gets grey...). WTF! Does somebody have an idea?

Wouldn't it be easier to create the image using photoshop/fireworks, and then use CSS for placing in in your site.
Also do you have a link to your site that we can look at?

What browser are you using? IE6 doesn't display PNG transparency, it has a grey background behind it. I would use a gif and use CSS to make it 50% transparent instead of a PNG for cross-browser support.

How about create the base (semi transparent PNG) in photoshop and paint over it in PHP?
