Re: __clone arguments

It doesn't accept arguments. An object should know how to clone itself without additional information. If you want a method which does something other than cloning then define your own method. Andi At 10:14 AM 12/3/2003 -0800, Eduardo R. Maciel wrote:

Sorry if it has been discussed before, but how is the question about __clone accept arguments ??? It would permit a better control when clonning objects, like dinamically setting properties. Sure its is possible using wrappers, but would be better if the function supports that. class clonable{

        public $age;
        public $b;

//      function __clone($a){
//              if ($a) $this->age = $a;
//              else $this->age = $that->age;
//      }

} $molly = new clonable; $molly->age = 1; $dolly = $molly->__clone(0); echo $dolly->age; if ($dolly == $molly) echo "equal: TRUE"; else {

        var_dump($dolly);
        var_dump($molly);

} if ($dolly === $molly) echo "identical: TRUE"; else {

        var_dump($dolly);
        var_dump($molly);
