PHP : Masking image with GD

My friend : Is it possible to use PHP and GD for croping image not in rectangle?

Me : Hmm, well so far I just play with GD only for creating thumbnail or crop an image. What exactly do you mean by that?

My friend : I need to crop an image and need the result in ellipse, so there will be an ellipse showing part of the image, and outside that ellipse should be transparent.

Me : What do you need that for?

My friend : Hmm, well just for some project I’m currently handle.

Me : I promise you nothing, but I’ll give it a shoot.

After looking back PHP GD documentation, here what come in my mind.

OK, I know it’s not an ellipse, but hey you can change that easy.
