Description:
------------
The documentation shows that the last parameter is optional (extrainfo) but an error is generated when it is left out. Calling with an empty array as the last parameter resolves the issue.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$box = imageftbbox($size,$angle,$this->fonts[$font],$text);

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning:  Wrong parameter count for imageftbbox()

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

"Parameter extrainfo is optional since PHP 4.3.5."

BTW patch http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/php-src/ext/gd/gd.c?r1=1.279&r2=1.280&ty=u made superfluous optional parameter to imagettfbbox() and imagettftext().
