imagecreatefromxbm() 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.
Path to the XBM image.

Example #1 Convert an XBM image to a png image using imagecreatefromxbm()
<?php
// Load the xbm file
$xbm = imagecreatefromxbm('./example.xbm');
// Convert it to a png file
imagepng($xbm, './example.png');
imagedestroy($xbm);
?>
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.
