Description:
------------
Recently upgraded to using PHP 4.3.8 and PDFlib 6.0.0p1.

Suddenly I need to supply all of the "optional" parameters to the PDF functions.  Very frustrating.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$foo = pdf_stringwidth($pdf, "foo");

Expected result:
----------------
No error message saying that 4 parameters are required.

Actual result:
--------------
I get an error message requiring all 4 parameters, the last two of which are optional.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

This is a problem with the PDF extension distributed by the 
libpdf folks, it does not affect the ext/pdf in php 
sources.

It's now documented.
