    (PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

    Exception::__clone — Clone the exception

    Description

    private function Exception::__clone(): void

    Exceptions do not support cloning; this method exists only to prevent it.

    Warning

    Exceptions cannot be cloned, whether they are instances of Exception or of a subclass. Attempting to clone an exception throws an Error, which may be caught.

    Parameters

    This function has no parameters.

    Return Values

    No value is returned.

    Errors/Exceptions

    Exceptions are not clonable.

    Changelog

    Version Description
    8.1.0 Exception::__clone() is no longer declared final, because declaring a private method final emits a warning as of PHP 8.0.0. Exceptions remain uncloneable.
