PHP - Rotate image with GD gives black borders

I am trying to rotate and save an image. The rotation is based on the EXIF data. I have tried the following, which all give a black border around it:

enter image description here

Where the original looks like this:

$orientation = array_values([0, 0, 0, 180, 0, 0, -90, 0, 90])[@exif_read_data($imagePath)['Orientation'] ?: 0];

$source = imagecreatefromjpeg($imagePath);
$resource = imagerotate($source, $orientation, 0);
imagejpeg($resource, $image, 100);

I have also tried adding imagealphablending($resource, true); and imagesavealpha($resource, true); as proposed in Black background when rotating image with PHP, but to no avail; the border remains.

Then I tried creating the image with imagecreatetruecolor():

$imageSizes = getimagesize($image);
$oldWidth  = $imageSizes[0];
$oldHeight = $imageSizes[1];

$orientation = array_values([0, 0, 0, 180, 0, 0, -90, 0, 90])[@exif_read_data($image)['Orientation'] ?: 0];

$source = imagecreatefromjpeg($imagePath);
$resource = imagerotate($source, $orientation, 0);

$newWidth  = $oldWidth;
$newHeight = $oldHeight;

if ($orientation !== 180 && $orientation !== 0) {
    $newWidth  = $oldHeight;
    $newHeight = $oldWidth;
}

$imageResized = imagecreatetruecolor($newWidth, $newHeight); 

imagecopyresampled ($imageResized, $resource, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newWidth, $newHeight, $oldWidth, $oldHeight); 
imagejpeg($imageResized, $image, 100);

But I just can't seem to get it work. Is anyone able to help me with this?

I've found this problem today in PHP for Windows. The borders only seem to get added when you do a 0 or 360 degree rotation. I don't get the borders with a 180 degree rotation. So, just check to see if orientation is non-zero and only rotate if necessary.

... if ($orientation !== 0) $resource = imagerotate($source, $orientation, 0); else $resource = $source; end ...

this isnt an answer.. it may help you, or it may not

i have tested your code, and work fine for meenter image description here

also, using your image it wont give me your problem.

as i can see, your result image, that with black border, have a diference with the original.. look the left border, the top dog is croped, and that difference is the black border
