You could probably use something like:
function clone($whatever){
$clone = $whatever;
if (is_object($whatever)){
while (list($var, $val) = each($whatever)){
$clone->$var = clone($val);
}
}
elseif (is_array($whatever)){
while (list($var, $val) = each($whatever)){
$clone[$var] = clone($val);
}
}
else{
$clone = $whatever;
}
return $clone;
}
No promises this can be made to work, much less to do what you want, but it
might...
