Bug #17556: Docs lack specific info about switch() and continue;

From: ahristov@icygen.com Operating system: All PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Docs lack specific info about switch() and continue; After 2 years of coding in PHP I found something strange to me but probably not to the creators of PHP :)). continue; inside a switch statement is equivalent of break; For this reason I've found 3 closed bugs - 5805, 8768 & 7591. However there is no info in the docs that switch() is one time loop - as said in one of the answer of one of the reports. I think that switch() docs has to mention that switch() is works like one iteration loop and that continue without any params within a switch is equivalent of break;. Thus the effect which one may want will be continue (level+1) (level is the level which will be if the program was written in C). Finally there should be short note in the continue; docs that inside a switch() it works somekind different than in C and provided link to switch() page for more info.
