Apologies, the result is the same, but the proper test should have read:

<?php
foreach(array(1, 2) as $iteration) {
	var_dump($iteration);
	foreach (array(1) as $dummy) {
		break;
	}
}
?>

In my opinion, the documentation is pretty clear about that issue:

| break ends execution of the current for, foreach, while,
| do-while or switch structure.

Furthermore line 5 of the example is:

|         break;    /* You could also write 'break 1;' here. */

cmb, the sentence you quote is semantically invalid (there may be more than one current affected structure).

As for the example, it cannot replace specification (as for any example). Besides, the break statement you mention is in a single affected structure.

Thanks for reopening

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.

Thank you very much to you, salathe.

While the change does fix, I recommend to avoid referring to "the current loop", for 2 reasons:
break does not only break from loops.
When the behavior was unspecified, there are several current "loops", not just one.

I would suggest:
The default value is <literal>1</literal> (only break from the innermost enclosing structure).

I've gone with "immediate enclosing structure". Hopefully that clears up any confusion.
