Bug description:must document since which version imagecreatefromgif correctly handles any path

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.imagecreatefromgif#refsect1-
function.imagecreatefromgif-description
---

Information is missing about since which version of PHP
imagecreatefromgif() 
correctly handles all paths. This is VITAL and must be specified.

Prior to some version X of PHP, imagecreatefromgif doesn't handle correctly

paths like "/foo/bar/../myfolder/myfile.gif". It gives a bogus error
message 
saying the file is not a valid gif file.
Starting from version X, it works as expected in all cases and resolves
such 
path to the correct path, e.g. "/foo/myfolder/myfile.gif".

X is somewhere between 5.1.6 and 5.4.6. 

I guess the same happens with all imagecreatefrom*()
