How can you maintain transparency in PNG images when using PHP?

To maintain transparency in PNG images when using PHP, you can use the `imagealphablending()` and `imagesavealpha()` functions to preserve the alpha channel of the image. This will ensure that the transparency of the PNG image is maintained when working with it in PHP. 

// Load the PNG image
$image = imagecreatefrompng('image.png');

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

// Save alpha channel
imagesavealpha($image, true);

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

// Free up memory
imagedestroy($image);
