    int $alpha
): int

Returns the index of the specified color+alpha in the palette of the image.

green: Value of green component.
blue: Value of blue component.
alpha: A value between 0 and 127. 0 indicates completely opaque while 127 indicates completely transparent.

The colors parameters are integers between 0 and 255 or hexadecimals between 0x00 and 0xFF.

Changelog

Version	Description
8.0.0	`image` expects a GdImage instance now; previously, a valid `gd` resource was expected.

Examples

Example #1 Get colors from the GD logo

<?php

// Setup an image
$im = imagecreatefrompng('./gdlogo.png');

$colors = Array();
$colors[] = imagecolorexactalpha($im, 255, 0, 0, 0);
$colors[] = imagecolorexactalpha($im, 0, 0, 0, 127);
$colors[] = imagecolorexactalpha($im, 255, 255, 255, 55);
$colors[] = imagecolorexactalpha($im, 100, 255, 52, 20);

print_r($colors);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array
(
    [0] => 16711680
    [1] => 2130706432
    [2] => 939524095
    [3] => 342163252
)
