How do i use a transparent image in a transparent image using GD?

Question

I have tried every way I can find but the background is always black. Is there any way to keep the transparency of the first image when GD ises it in PHP?

I'm using imagecopymerge to use the image. though i am not sure if this is the right way.

imagecopymerge($dest, $char, 0, 0, 0, 0, 150, 300, 100);

The image is like so: http://filesmelt.com/dl/draw7.php.png

See that the background is black whereas the roginal picture was transparent as the modified picture should be aswell
