PHP Fix for IE PNG Transparency

Anybody ever use this: [url]http://koivi.com/ie-png-transparency/[/url]

I am trying it for my website but I am still seeing placeholders around the PNGs….even though they are transparent, you still see the weird looking image placeholders…..anybody come across this?

@MrCoderOct 12.2007 — Its a pain up the backside mate, use gif's unless you have to use PNG's?

THIS is the best way I have found of using PNG's

@bokehOct 12.2007 — Why should you care how something looks in IE5/6? Anyone with windows updates has got IE7 by now and if they haven't the chances are they couldn't care less about their browsing experience.

@ellisglOct 12.2007 — Bokeh - You'd be amazed how many people still use IE 6. (ugh...)

If you want to be able to change the background colour of your site without having to re-creating all the images use PNG. If the people that use IE6 are more important to you than the anti-aliasing problems and mono-transparency of GIF, use GIF.

Success!
