Note Submitter: Anonymous ---- To cheetah: do u really think so?Please look at this: <? class A { public $object; function __construct () { $this->object = new B($this); } public function __clone() { foreach($this as $key => $val) { if(is_object($val)||(is_array($val))){ $this->{$key} = unserialize(serialize($val)); } } } } class B { public $object; function __construct ($parent = NULL) { $this->object = $parent; } } $A = new A(); $B = $A->object; echo $A; echo $B; echo $B->object; $newA = clone $A; $newB = $newA->object; echo $newA; echo $newB; echo $newB->object; ?> This will output like this: Object id #1 Object id #2 Object id #1 Object id #3 Object id #4 Object id #5 Don't you notice the problem? At first A has a reference to B, and B has a reference to A. But after we clone object A.. What's happened? B references to a object other than A.. So, what a pity we failed to do deep clone by your way...
