note 108938 added to language.oop5.cloning

If you want a property that gets the same value in every clone if changed, you can do this simple trick: <?php class A { public static $name ; } $a = new A; $a::$name = 'George'; $b = clone $a; $b::$name = "Somebody else"; echo 'a: ' . $a::$name . "\n"; echo 'b: ' . $b::$name . "\n"; ?> this will output: a: Somebody else b: Somebody else You can change any of the clones property and all of the others will change accordingly. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 129.128.136.52 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.cloning.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/108938 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108938/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108938/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108938/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108938/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108938/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108938/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108938 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/108938 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
