C :: Read A 24 Bit Image Using 2D Array

I am trying to read a 24 bit image but I'm getting errors when I'm tryting to read the pixels.

-The reading part looks bad because I'm reading both headers field by field. But I'm sure that it is reading both headers correctly.

-Right now my biggest concern is to get it to read successfully an entire bmp image

I'm using this calculation to get my padding bytes:

padding bytes = [4-(3*width)mod 4]mod 4

When I use a 2x2.bmp file to test it, I get an error that the [1][1] pixel was not read. When I use a bigger image it gives me the same error after about 100 rows and then every pixel is an error from that point on. This is what I got so far:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
const size_t cSizeofPixel = 3; //size of struct tPixel
typedef struct{
unsigned char blue;
unsigned char green;
unsigned char red;

[Code]...

I read this post Reading 24 bit BMP file into a 2d array.

I still don't know if my error is when I allocate memory to my 2d array, or if I'm doing the padding bytes wrong or if it is something else.
