#27334 [NEW]: clone keyword vs __clone

From: trancer at trancer dot nl Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: clone keyword vs __clone Description: ------------ Had the following: fatal error: Cannot call __clone() method on objects - use 'clone $obj' instead. Dig some digging, stumbled upon http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php mentioning the following: "Redesigned clone by adding a clone keyword (clone $obj) and copying all properties before __clone() is called. Also allows calling parent __clone function by using parent::__clone(). (Zeev, Andi)" However the document http://www.php.net/zend-engine-2.php is in conflict with this mentioning a lot about __clone() "An object copy is created by calling the object's __clone() method:" Please fix the zend-engine-2 documentation. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27334&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27334&r=float
