PHP Bug Type:     Class/Object related
Bug description:  After copying a class, changes to new class affect old class.

Description:
------------
This may just be my mis-understanding of how the language should work, but
surely when you copy an object (class) and make changes to it, those
changes shouldn't affect the original object?   

I don't really see the point in making a copy of an object, if the changes
you make to the new copy affect the old copy.

If I'm just dumb, then I apologise.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?

class c {
   var $i = 0;
};

$a = new c;
$a->i = 1;

$b = $a;
$b->i = 2;

echo "a: $a->i";
echo "b: $b->i";

?>

Expected result:
----------------
a: 1
b: 2

Actual result:
--------------
a: 2
b: 2
