imagebmp — Output a BMP image to browser or file
Outputs or saves a BMP version of the given image.
imageA GdImage object, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().
fileThe path or an open stream resource (which is automatically closed after this function returns) to save the file to. If not set or null, the raw image stream will be output directly.
Note:
nullis invalid if thecompressedarguments is not used.

However, if libgd fails to output the image, this function returns true.

imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, 'BMP with PHP', $text_color);
// Save the image
