title: Unable to create GD image resource from BMP with MIME type 'image/x-ms-bmp' in PHP
body: <p>I'm trying to create a GD image resource from a BMP image, however I'm having no luck.</p>
  
  <p>The BMP image in question was created and saved with Photoshop. I've tried a couple of BMPs I found on the web too, and they gave the same results.</p>
  
  <p>getimagesize() tells me the BMP image has an image type of IMAGETYPE_BMP (6) and a MIME type of 'image/x-ms-bmp'.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried running the image through imagecreatefromwbmp() and imagecreatefromxbm(), but neither recognise it. I've also tried running it through imagecreatefromstring(), but that errored saying 'Data is not in a recognized format'.</p>
  
  <p>I'm running XAMPP on a Windows machine with PHP 5.3.1 and GD 2.0.34 with WBMP and XBM support enabled. I've also tried this on a Linux server running PHP 5.2.6 and GD 2.0.34 with WBMP and XBM support enabled, same result.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas how I can create a GD image resource from this BMP? Is it actually possible?</p>
