PHP Bug Type:     Scripting Engine problem
Bug description:  Decimal numbers starting with 0 wrongly treated as octals, even when 
invalid

Description:
------------
According to the manual, integers can be specified in the octal notation
preceding the number with a zero. Some lines below I can see this regexp:

octal       : 0[0-7]+


What I don't understand is why an invalid octal number preceded by a 0 is
treated as an octal, having a value of 0.

I know that you'll probably answer that it's a feature and not a bug, but
I think that this behaviour should be highlighted in the manual :)

Also checked on PHP 4.1.2, 4.3.0 and 4.3.3

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(07); // Correct
var_dump(010); // Correct

var_dump(08); // Wrong, 8 is not an octal number
?>



Expected result:
----------------
int(7)
int(8)
int(8)


Actual result:
--------------
int(7)
int(8)
int(0)
