In PHP, how do I copy objects for beginners?

In PHP, you can copy objects using either the assignment operator or the clone keyword. If you use the assignment operator, any changes made to the copied object will also affect the original object since it only creates a reference. To create a true copy of an object, you should use the clone keyword.


        name = $name;
                    $this->age = $age;
                }
            }

            $original = new Person("John", 30);
            $copy = clone $original; // Create a separate copy

            // Modifying the copy
            $copy->name = "Doe";

            echo "Original: " . $original->name . ", Age: " . $original->age;
            echo "
";
            echo "Copy: " . $copy->name . ", Age: " . $copy->age;
        ?>
