Please provide a link to the image you want to change? I don't know if you are trying to change a constant opacity in the image or a gradient opacity in the image? Please clarify.
see transparent canvas at
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/canvas/#other
especially
convert test.png -matte -channel A -evaluate set 0 +channel trans_evaluate.png
change the set value to some value between 0 and 1

if this is to change a gradient transparency from 0-100% to 0-70%, then try
convert test.png -matte -channel A +level 0,70% +channel trans_evaluate.png
if this is the wrong way opacity vs transparency, then use +level 30,100%

I'm suprised there isn't a broken image!
Can the PHP write in that directory. is there a transparent image in that directory that is not writable by the PHP?
Better to check these thing without the complication of web page processing.

please provide a link to your png image (not in a screen snap) so we can see what is really happening.

Your png file is composed of a white base image and a gradient alpha channel. So there is no one alpha value in that file. So what is that you want to do. If you make the opacity/transparency a constant, then you will lose your gradient.
To see this, look at the results of:
convert opacity-2.png -alpha off opacity-2_aoff.png
convert opacity-2.png -alpha extract opacity-2_alpha.pn
You would be better making a gradient base image and then making the alpha channel some constant say 70% as was describe above.
Try this:
convert -size 128x128 gradient: -matte -channel A -evaluate set 70% -channel rgba tmp.png
or
convert -size 128x128 gradient: -matte -channel A -evaluate set 30% -channel rgba tmp.png
Not sure which way you want it.
