yes. i created a BMP with graphic converter and i was able to insert it. 
i can't tell you how cool that is!

great idea! i'll check that. though i'm pretty sure it is an error in 
the conversion using the PHP image tools. the file that gets created 
isn't really a BMP AFAICT. i tested just writing it to file so there 
must be something wrong with the conversion functions or with my source 
file - eg wrong color depth or dpi...

i'm going to try something like imagemagick to see if i can work around 
this.

Are the permissions to the

yes, perms are set properly to allow file writing by the www group. i 
actually get a file but it is not a bmp.
