GD! Converting a png image to jpeg and making the alpha by default white and not black


I tried something like this but it just makes the background of the image white, not necessarily the alpha of the image. I wanted to just upload everything as jpg's so if i could somehow "flatten" a png image with some transparently to default it to just be white so i can use it as a jpg instead. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

$old = imagecreatefrompng($upload);
$background = imagecolorallocate($old,255,255,255);
imagefill($old, 0, 0, $background);
imagealphablending($old, false);
imagesavealpha($old, true);

Solution

  • <?php
    $input_file = "test.png";
    $output_file = "test.jpg";
    
    $input = imagecreatefrompng($input_file);
    $width = imagesx($input);
    $height = imagesy($input);
    $output = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
    $white = imagecolorallocate($output,  255, 255, 255);
    imagefilledrectangle($output, 0, 0, $width, $height, $white);
    imagecopy($output, $input, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height);
    imagejpeg($output, $output_file);
