How can PHP developers ensure that the transparency of an image remains dynamic and variable in their code?

To ensure that the transparency of an image remains dynamic and variable in PHP, developers can use the imagealphablending() and imagesavealpha() functions. These functions allow for the blending of alpha channel information when drawing one image onto another, while also preserving the alpha channel information for transparent images. 

// Load the original image
$originalImage = imagecreatefrompng('original_image.png');

// Enable alpha blending
imagealphablending($originalImage, true);

// Save alpha channel information
imagesavealpha($originalImage, true);

// Manipulate the image as needed
// For example, change the transparency level
imagefilter($originalImage, IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE, 0, 0, 0, 50);

// Output the modified image
header('Content-Type: image/png');
imagepng($originalImage);
imagedestroy($originalImage);
