PNG Transparency with PHP

I have had success doing it like this in the past:

$thumb = imagecreatetruecolor($newwidth, $newheight);
imagealphablending($thumb, false);
imagesavealpha($thumb, true);  

$source = imagecreatefrompng($fileName);
imagealphablending($source, true);

imagecopyresampled($thumb, $source, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newwidth, $newheight, $width, $height);

imagepng($thumb,$newFilename);

I found the output image quality much better using imagecopyresampled() than imagecopyresized()
