Cloning readonly properties in PHP 8.3
Read OriginalThis article details the specific new capability in PHP 8.3 that permits the reinitialization of readonly properties during the cloning of an object. It clarifies that this is not a general 'clone with' syntax but is restricted to operations within the magic __clone() method. The primary use case is enabling proper deep cloning of objects with nested readonly properties, preventing unintended reference sharing.
