Hi,

return of the __clone() method crash.

<?php
class test {
    var $name;
    
    function __construct($name) {
        $this->name = $name;
    }
    
    function __clone() {
        echo "cloning ...\n";
        $this->name = "test ".$that->name;
    }
}

$test = new test("essai");
$test1 = $test;
$test2 = $test->__clone();
$test1->name = "arthur";
echo "test  : $test->name\n";
echo "test2 : $test2->name\n";
?>

-- expect --
cloning ...
test  : arthur
test2 : test essai

-- result --
cloning ...
