From: jtrelfa at gmail dot com Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: cloned Objects can't be passed by value to a function
Description: ------------ I was trying to fill an array with objects by cloning the object as the argument in the function. I read http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php#language.oop5.basic.new It mentions that passing the object to a function is a reference - but why doesn't cloning work, either? I tried two different ways to pass a cloned object, but still got a referenced object rather than a cloned one. Reproduce code: --------------- class Foo { var $ar; function __construct() { $this->ar = array(0,0,0); } } //use clone keyword $obj = new Foo(); $bar = array_fill(0,2,clone $obj); print_r($bar); $bar[1]->ar[0] = 1; print_r($bar); //a different way to clone $obj = new Foo(); $bar = array_fill(0,2,$t = clone $obj); print_r($bar); $bar[0]->ar[0] = 1; print_r($bar); Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [0] => Foo Object ( [ar] => Array ( [0] => 0 [1] => 0 [2] => 0 ) ) [1] => Foo Object ( [ar] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 0 [2] => 0 ) ) ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => Foo Object ( [ar] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 0 [2] => 0 ) ) [1] => Foo Object ( [ar] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 0 [2] => 0 ) ) ) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45436&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45436&r=mysqlcfg
