note 94571 added to language.oop5.cloning

The method __clone() described by "cheetah at tanabi dot org" works flawlessly. But one thing to note that sometimes an object implements its own cloning logic. By unserialize-serialize-ing this object will not invoke the internal __clone() method. This is the revised version: <?php function __clone() { foreach ($this as $key => $val) { if (is_object($val)) { if (method_exists($val, '__clone')) { $this->{$key} = clone $val; } else { $this->{$key} = unserialize(serialize($val)); } } else if (is_array($val)) { $this->{$key} = unserialize(serialize($val)); } } } ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 125.167.108.115 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.cloning.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/94571 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94571/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94571/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94571/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94571/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94571/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94571/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94571 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/94571 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
