illustrate
1. Used for object copying. Object copying is accomplished through the clone keyword.
2. The __clone() method does not require any parameters.
3. While copying, if some attributes of the target object are different from those of the source object, you can define a __clone() method in the class.
In this method, assigning new values to the properties of the target object is completed.
Example
<?php class autofelix { public function __clone() { echo 'I cloned you'; } } $a = new autofelix(); clone $a; //Output: I cloned you
The above is the use of __clone in php, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
