why has php not made a predefined function like imagecreatefrombmp yet? surely there's more demand for it than there is for the wbmp function
imagecreatefromwbmp
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.1, PHP 5)
imagecreatefromwbmp — Create a new image from file or URL
Description
imagecreatefromwbmp() returns an image identifier representing the image obtained from the given filename.
A URL can be used as a filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled. See fopen() for more details on how to specify the filename and List of Supported Protocols/Wrappers for a list of supported URL protocols.
Parameters
- filename
-
Path to the WBMP image.
Return Values
Returns an image resource identifier on success, FALSE on errors.
Examples
Example #1 Example to handle an error during loading of a WBMP
<?php
function LoadWBMP($imgname)
{
/* Attempt to open */
$im = @imagecreatefromwbmp($imgname);
/* See if it failed */
if(!$im)
{
/* Create a blank image */
$im = imagecreatetruecolor (20, 20);
$bgc = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$tc = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 10, 10, $bgc);
/* Output an error message */
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, 'Error loading ' . $imgname, $tc);
}
return $im;
}
header('Content-Type: image/png');
$img = LoadPNG('bogus.image');
imagwbmp($img);
imagedestroy($img);
?>
Notes
Note: WBMP support is only available if PHP was compiled against GD-1.8 or later.
Windows versions of PHP prior to PHP 4.3.0 do not support access of remote files via this function, even if allow_url_fopen is enabled.

.bmp is just hex encoded RGB values.
All you need to do is open in binary mode and seperate the header from the body.
Decode the width and height from the header.
Then create the image pixel by pixel from the RGB values in the body.
function imagecreatefrombmp( $filename )
{
$file = fopen( $filename, "rb" );
$read = fread( $file, 10 );
while( !feof( $file ) && $read != "" )
{
$read .= fread( $file, 1024 );
}
$temp = unpack( "H*", $read );
$hex = $temp[1];
$header = substr( $hex, 0, 104 );
$body = str_split( substr( $hex, 108 ), 6 );
if( substr( $header, 0, 4 ) == "424d" )
{
$header = substr( $header, 4 );
// Remove some stuff?
$header = substr( $header, 32 );
// Get the width
$width = hexdec( substr( $header, 0, 2 ) );
// Remove some stuff?
$header = substr( $header, 8 );
// Get the height
$height = hexdec( substr( $header, 0, 2 ) );
unset( $header );
}
$x = 0;
$y = 1;
$image = imagecreatetruecolor( $width, $height );
foreach( $body as $rgb )
{
$r = hexdec( substr( $rgb, 4, 2 ) );
$g = hexdec( substr( $rgb, 2, 2 ) );
$b = hexdec( substr( $rgb, 0, 2 ) );
$color = imagecolorallocate( $image, $r, $g, $b );
imagesetpixel( $image, $x, $height-$y, $color );
$x++;
if( $x >= $width )
{
$x = 0;
$y++;
}
}
return $image;
}

for .bmp files, convert them with bmp2png, then you can use this files in gd

WBMP images are Wireless Bitmaps, not Windows Bitmaps. WBMP is used for bandwidth constrained, black and white, limited devices such as PDAs and Cell Phones.
