 New Comment:

i have found an article that describes the old deprecated rrdtool php functions, it might be helpful
as reference for someone who gets confused as me: http://mike.eire.ca/2010/03/28/using-rrdtool-with-php/

it seems you hit the nail on the head, the package installed here is from Debian repository and is
part of rrdtool archive, not php extensions
i didn't realize there may be more packages doing the same thing

Are you definitely using the PECL rrd_graph() function? From a quick scan of the 
history of that function, it never accepted a third parameter.

then why does the code work with the count parameter? if i omit it, it will 
produce the warning, that means without the parameter that was never there it 
doesn't work

in this way to me it seems it takes exactly 3, not 2 parameters:
1. filename
2. array of options
3. count of options in the array

perhaps it has been added in some later implementation of the function and the 
documentation refers to older version? i don't know but currently it doesn't 
work the way it's described (at least for me :)

There is no "count" parameter for rrd_graph(), and never has been.

The function expects exactly (no more, no less!) two parameters:
1. The filename
2. An array of options

The error message in the original bug report was misread. The error message was 
complaining that an incorrect number of parameters (i.e, not 2) were passed to 
the function.

i'm not complaining about the function itself, just the way it's documented, the count
option is not mentioned in documentation but if you don't use it in the script, it will print
out the warning and fail
i don't know how to explain this more clearly sorry :)
