#47587 [NEW]: When exactly is __clone() executed?

From: scout at hyperspace-travel dot de Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: When exactly is __clone() executed? Description: ------------ The documentation does not mention when exactly the __clone() method is performed. Neither does any of the comments. No I figure it is done AFTER shallow-copying the attributes of the old object to the new on, as everything else would be braindead. But still, it would be nice to have this information written down because that is a pretty crucial detail and it helps to understand the process of cloning in the first place.
