I need to copy an array by value, not by reference. Is there a best way to do this? Right now I found serialize/unserialize which seems to do the trick.

Python has a function called deepcopy:

For Java, it appears you can use a handmade function or serialize/ unserialize:

PHP seems to be similar to Java, in that you can write a function yourself or use serialize/unserialize. I haven't found a function like deepcopy.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
