Flexible copy/deepcopy

[soenke]

I'd like to enhance the copy() functionality of copy()-method:

The deepCopy parameter could also accept an associative array (or object?) with

[tablename] => depth

so we can limit the depth and/or specify the tables that are copied.

• If $deepCopy is boolean, it behaves like now.
• If it's an array, behavior is like above.
• And maybe if it's integer, the depth is meant (and all tables are copied)

Sounds like parameter polymorphism, doesn't it? ;-)

Soenke, I'm assuming this is not something you are going to get to for 1.3 release, so I'm moving it ahead.

yeah that's totally ok :)
