no, it should not because the x/- stuff is temporary / not standarized

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMP_file_format
Internet media type image/bmp, image/x-bmp

I wonder why the mime content type has different result for mime_content_type and getimagesize functions?
 [2019-05-08 09:21 UTC] spam2 at rhsoft dot net 
because https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mime-content-type.php is part of the fileinfo extension and https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getimagesize.php is part of the gd extension which are completly different worlds

To spam2@rhsoft.net, according to the wiki you provide, it seems that the BMP has two internet mime content type.

They will be image/bmp, or image/x-bmp.

Shouldn't we consider/concern this?

And make this consistency or add some messages on official PHP doc?

PHP does nothing here, it calls libraries and depending on the library version you get the old x- stuff or the finalized mime-type - you are supposed to know the valid results in your code and test against both

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The change to getimagesize() is documented in the migration
guide[1].  The fact that mime_content_type() still returns the
obsolete mime type should be reported against upstream[2].
