$im imagecreatetruecolor(5530);
$red imagecolorallocate($im25500);
$black imagecolorallocate($im000);

// Make the background transparent
imagecolortransparent($im$black);

Notes

Note:

Transparency is copied only with imagecopymerge() and true color images, not with imagecopy() or pallete images.

Note:

The transparent color is a property of the image, transparency is not a property of the color. Once you have set a color to be the transparent color, any regions of the image in that color that were drawn previously will be transparent.
