PNG's support transparency as well as GIFs. 

The short answer is that you'll create your image and also specify a color
that will be made transparent. I don't see why imagecreatetruecolor making a
default black image is a problem? If it is, just set black to be the
transparent color and go from there.

If you want to create a transparent image don't forget it must be a GIF.  At
least that's what my graphics guys have been telling me all these years :)
