I'm using a monkey code to solve this:

$myObjectArray = array();
foreach ($myObject->objects as &$item)
$myObjectArray[] = copy $item;

This code as an solution, but is really ugly. I belive that is as real
bug.

Description:
------------
I'm using an array of objects and when I copy the array to an another
array structure this will referencing, not copying.
I tried to use copy() statement, but it works only to objects,
off-course.
Soorry by bad english.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class slaveObject {
public $singleVar;
public __construct($mySingleVar) { $this->sigleVar = $mySingleVar; }
}
class mainObject {
public $objects = array();
public __construct() {
$this->objects[] = new slaveObject('Example1');
$this->objects[] = new slaveObject('Example2');
$this->objects[] = new slaveObject('Example3');
}
}

$myObject = &new mainObject();
$myObjectArray = $myObject->objects;
print_r($myObject->objects);
$myObjectArray[0]->singleVar = 'Example4';
print_r($myObject->objects);
print_r($myObjectArray);

Expected result:
----------------
Array(
[0] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example1
)
[1] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example2
)
[2] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example3
)
)
Array(
[0] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example1
)
[1] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example2
)
[2] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example3
)
)
Array(
[0] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example4
)
[1] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example2
)
[2] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example3
)
)

Actual result:
--------------
Array(
[0] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example1
)
[1] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example2
)
[2] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example3
)
)
Array(
[0] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example4
)
[1] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example2
)
[2] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example3
)
)
Array(
[0] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example4
)
[1] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example2
)
[2] => slaveObject (
[singleVar] => Example3
)
)
