Another thing you may not know is how to preserve the alpha channel
information on save:

http://blog.thepimp.net/misc/bug39353_with_alpha.png

you have to use imagesavealpha($img,true); before calling imagepng.

"I thought that a color with alpha = 127 will produce the 
same results as a color marked as transparent. I want the 
contents of $small to overwrite everything in $img. This is 
not correct?"

But this color (imagecolortransparent($small)) *IS* the transparent
color and is ignored on copy.

http://blog.thepimp.net/misc/bug39353_out.png is it not what you
expect?

If not, provide an image to show what you expect.

Also, if you alter the transparency of a color to be 64, and 
you fill the image with that color, shouldn't the final 
image have a transparency of 64?

imagecolorsforindex() gives the correct alpha value, but the 
"true color" PNG produced in my browser has no partial 
transparency. (it is all opaque)

The code that I am using looks like this:
...
$img = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
$red = imagecolorallocatealpha($img, 255,0,0, 64);
imagefill($img, 0,0, $red);
imagealphablending($img, false);

/*
var_dump(imagecolorsforindex($img, imagecolorat($img, 
0,0)));
exit;
//*/

header('Content-Type: image/png');
...

I thought that a color with alpha = 127 will produce the 
same results as a color marked as transparent. I want the 
contents of $small to overwrite everything in $img. This is 
not correct?

The "bug#1" and "bug#2" that I wrote were not intended to be 
links, they were just supposed to show that I believe there 
are two bugs at work here. This web site turned them into 
links.

To reproduce the second bug without changing the first, 
alter my code to look like this:

...
$img = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
$red = imagecolorallocate($img, 255,0,0);
imagecolortransparent($img, $red);
imagefill($img, 0,0, $red);

imagecopyresized($img, $small, 0,0, 0,0, $width, $height, 
$srcW, $srcH);
...

The background is supposed to be transparent, but where 
$small has partial transparency, $img becomes fully opaque. 
The final image should have partial transparency around the 
object, but it does not.

"imagecopyresized() is ignoring alpha the blending mode. 
Specifically, in ext/gd/libgd/gd.c line 2376 or so, there is 
this code that skips processing transparent pixels:"

My statement covers this part of your report, which is wrong. It is the
expected behavior to do not copy the transparent color.

The transparent color has nothing to do with the *alpha* channel of any
other pixels.

The alpha blending mode affects *only* pixels with alpha channels, not
the transparent color.

Which second bug are you talking about? The link bug#1 and bug#2 does
not work, maybe you are refering to them?

As a sidenote, it makes no sense to call colorresolve for truecolor
images, just use imagecolorallocate or imagecolorallocatealpha.

Here is your example, with a check for truecolor or indexed image, and
showing which color is the *transparent* color
(imagecolortransparent):
$small = imagecreatefrompng('bug39353.png');
if (imageistruecolor($small)) {
    echo "truecolor image\n"; 
} else {
    $c = imagecolortransparent($small);
    echo "transparent index: " . $c . "\n";
    print_r( imagecolorsforindex($small,$c));
}

$width = 300;
$height = 300;
$srcW = imagesx($small);
$srcH = imagesy($small);

$img = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
$red = imagecolorallocate($img,255,0,0);
imagefill($img, 0,0, $red);
imagecopyresized($img, $small, 0,0, 0,0, $width, $height,
$srcW,$srcH);
imagepng($img, 'a.png');
?>
and the result image:
http://blog.thepimp.net/misc/bug39353_out.png

Please note that the transparent color is the index 0 and has these
values:
transparent index: 0
Array
(
    [red] => 246
    [green] => 246
    [blue] => 246
    [alpha] => 127
)

Is it more clear now?

Well, you can tell me what I'm doing wrong then. I have a 
source image with fully transparent pixels. I would like to 
copy it over another image, so the final image has fully 
transparent pixels.

To do this, I set imagealphablending() to false, and I copy 
via imagecopyresized(). But no fully transparent pixels are 
copied.

Your statement does not address the second bug that I 
mentioned.
