call). (Marcus)
12 Feb 2004, PHP 5 Beta 4

class. This allows for a general catch(Exception $e) statement to catch all
exceptions. (Andi, Zeev)

into set[raw]cookie(). (Brian)

modules. (Andi, Zeev)

such as nested try's and problems with overloaded extensions. (Zeev, Andi)
- Redesigned clone by adding a clone keyword (clone $obj) and copying all
properties before __clone() is called. Also allows calling parent __clone
function by using parent::__clone(). (Zeev, Andi)
