Sorry if it has been discussed before, but how is the question about __clone accept arguments ??? It would permit a better control when clonning objects, like dinamically setting properties.
Sure its is possible using wrappers, but would be better if the function supports that. class clonable{ public $age; public $b; // function __clone($a){ // if ($a) $this->age = $a; // else $this->age = $that->age; // } } $molly = new clonable; $molly->age = 1; $dolly = $molly->__clone(0); echo $dolly->age; if ($dolly == $molly) echo "equal: TRUE"; else { var_dump($dolly); var_dump($molly); } if ($dolly === $molly) echo "identical: TRUE"; else { var_dump($dolly); var_dump($molly); } Eduardo R.
