Can PNG image transparency be preserved when using PHP's GDlib imagecopyresampled?

imagealphablending( $targetImage, false );
imagesavealpha( $targetImage, true );

did it for me. Thanks ceejayoz.

note, the target image needs the alpha settings, not the source image.

Edit: full replacement code. See also answers below and their comments. This is not guaranteed to be be perfect in any way, but did achieve my needs at the time.

$uploadTempFile = $myField[ 'tmp_name' ]
list( $uploadWidth, $uploadHeight, $uploadType ) 
  = getimagesize( $uploadTempFile );

$srcImage = imagecreatefrompng( $uploadTempFile ); 

$targetImage = imagecreatetruecolor( 128, 128 );   
imagealphablending( $targetImage, false );
imagesavealpha( $targetImage, true );

imagecopyresampled( $targetImage, $srcImage, 
                    0, 0, 
                    0, 0, 
                    128, 128, 
                    $uploadWidth, $uploadHeight );

imagepng(  $targetImage, 'out.png', 9 );

Why do you make things so complicated? the following is what I use and so far it has done the job for me.

$im = ImageCreateFromPNG($source);
$new_im = imagecreatetruecolor($new_size[0],$new_size[1]);
imagecolortransparent($new_im, imagecolorallocate($new_im, 0, 0, 0));
imagecopyresampled($new_im,$im,0,0,0,0,$new_size[0],$new_size[1],$size[0],$size[1]);

I believe this should do the trick:

$srcImage = imagecreatefrompng($uploadTempFile);
imagealphablending($srcImage, false);
imagesavealpha($srcImage, true);

edit: Someone in the PHP docs claims imagealphablending should be true, not false. YMMV.
