note 75366 added to migration5.oop

Since PHP5 upgraded PHP to an OOP language, they CHANGED the metaphor so that when you copy an object, you just get a pointer to it (as in C# and Java) and so therefore they needed to make a way to CLONE objects as well in case you need a REAL copy of the object. Most cases, clone is not needed, simply because a real copy of an object is usually not mandatory. In special cases, object cloning can be used to save time in porting. ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 62.232.64.234 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration5.oop.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75366 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75366/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75366/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75366/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75366/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75366/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75366/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75366 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75366 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
