Description:
------------
The manual (http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php) states that 
an empty array should evaluate to false. 

When I run the following code, it evaluates to true. I'm filing this under 
documentation bug because I'm not sure if this is intended or not.


Test script:
---------------
var_dump((bool) array());

It should definitely be false. I get false under both PHP 5.3 and 5.4. Which 
version are you on?

I've tested it with PHP 5.3.10 and it evaluates correctly to false.
