Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-23 03:09:44] irchtml@php.net Reclassifying as a php.net website problem as the zend-engine-2.php file is under phpweb/. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-20 14:56:12] trancer at trancer dot nl 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27334&edit=1
