The zend engine only does a shallow copy in this particular instance, and it is a bug. If the array is not accessed through a method in the object, the copy is performed correctly. Please re-analyze this. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-15 09:20:44] stas@php.net Zend copies arrays and objects "shallow" (for performance reasons). The workaround is to implement "clone" method. This probably should be built-in function in Zend. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-28 00:21:05] lgordon@idiotbrain.com My bad, my email address is larry@idiotbrain.com Please detail on a fix for this bug.
