Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/control-structures.continue
---

Using continue 0; will fail under PHP 5.4:

Same is true for break 0; but documentation is wrong only for continue and incomplete for http://php.net/manual/en/migration54.incompatible.php (not sure, but can't see other statements affected).

Did not check translations.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

do {
    continue 0;
} while(false);

echo 'passed';

Expected result:
----------------
passed

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal error:  'continue' operator accepts only positive numbers

I can confirm this. The doc translations also contain the information about 
continue 0; behaving the same way as continue;

This information should be enhanced by adding that this is true only until 5.4. 
Since then the optional numeric argument must be greater than or equal to 1.

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.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
