Bug description: __copy magic method to increase backwards compatibility
Description:
------------
An extra magic method that works in the same was as __clone but is called
when an object is assigned in the normal way. Code earlier that php5
could be fixed in one place by adding a single method to a class rather
than having to find every $obj1 = $obj2 line in your scripts.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class MyClass
{
public function __copy
{
echo 'I want to return a copy, not a reference, like in olden
days';
return clone($this);
}
}
$obj1 = new MyClass;
$obj2 = $obj1;
?>
