Description:
------------
I'm not sure if it's a buf or if the function name "clone" was reserved in php5. The parse errore exist in RC1 and RC2 whith or without Compatibility Mode OFF or ON

Reproduce code:
---------------
class myclass{

function &clone()
    {
        ....
    }
}

Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CLONE, expecting T_STRING in ... on line ...

It's a keyword now, and not a bug (As it's expected behavior)

Updated summary to make it easier to find for other people running into this new behavior.

Hi

I am getting the same behaviour but am not sure how to fix this based on the above comments.  You say you have updated the summary, can you link to this summary?

Regards

How about turning the keyword off, when 
zend.ze1_compatibility_mode is used? There might be some 
PHP4 classes (and I had one of them) which have a clone 
method and are broken since PHP5.
