Description:
------------
I'm using PHP version 5.5.38 (64-bit) on Windows and I'm unable to use the imagecreatefromstring or imagecreatefromjpeg functions. I always get NULL as a result while I expected a image resource id or false (if it would fail).

I've run phpinfo and noticed that GD is full supported.
I checked all logfiles, eventlogs, but I couldn't find any errors.

I tried it with several jpg-files (small, medium, large), bit I was unable to load them with the functions.

The memory limit is set to 2048, so that can't be the issue.

Any idea what's missing here?

Test script:
---------------
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg('photo.jpg');
var_dump($image);

Expected result:
----------------
false or a image resource

Actual result:
--------------
NULL

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately you are not using a current version of PHP -- 
the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new
PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.

Note also that x64 builds of PHP 5 on Windows are experimental.

Please close this bug report.
The NULL value was generated by the var_export($image,true) function.
