The GD library doesn't support .BMP files for some reason. I've
written a function that converts .BMP files to .GD, a very simple
format that GD uses.
The following code implements imagecreatefrombmp(). It first convert
the BMP to GD, saving it to a temporary location, then open the image
using imagecreatefromgd().
<?
function ConvertBMP2GD($src, $dest = false) {
if(!($src_f = fopen($src, "rb"))) {
return false;
}
if(!($dest_f = fopen($dest, "wb"))) {
return false;
}
$header = unpack("vtype/Vsize/v2reserved/Voffset", fread($src_f,
14));
$info = unpack("Vsize/Vwidth/Vheight/vplanes/vbits/Vcompression/Vimagesize/Vxres/Vyres/Vncolor/Vimportant",
fread($src_f, 40));
extract($info);
extract($header);
if($type != 0x4D42) { // signature "BM"
return false;
}
$palette_size = $offset - 54;
$ncolor = $palette_size / 4;
$gd_header = "";
// true-color vs. palette
$gd_header .= ($palette_size == 0) ? "\xFF\xFE" : "\xFF\xFF";
$gd_header .= pack("n2", $width, $height);
$gd_header .= ($palette_size == 0) ? "\x01" : "\x00";
if($palette_size) {
$gd_header .= pack("n", $ncolor);
}
// no transparency
$gd_header .= "\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF";
fwrite($dest_f, $gd_header);
if($palette_size) {
$palette = fread($src_f, $palette_size);
$gd_palette = "";
$j = 0;
while($j < $palette_size) {
$b = $palette{$j++};
$g = $palette{$j++};

$a = $palette{$j++};
$gd_palette .= "$r$g$b$a";
}
$gd_palette .= str_repeat("\x00\x00\x00\x00", 256 - $ncolor);
fwrite($dest_f, $gd_palette);
}
$scan_line_size = (($bits * $width) + 7) >> 3;
$scan_line_align = ($scan_line_size & 0x03) ? 4 - ($scan_line_size &
0x03) : 0;
for($i = 0, $l = $height - 1; $i < $height; $i++, $l--) {
// BMP stores scan lines starting from bottom
fseek($src_f, $offset + (($scan_line_size + $scan_line_align) *

is there BMP support in GD?
