  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.

### 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($colors);
// Free from memory
imagedestroy($im);
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:

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