Description:

From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.copy#refsect1-function.copy-
changelog
---

The documentation states that $context was added for 5.3.0 but in reality it's not 
usable until 5.3.4. There's an opportunity for the documentation to reduce 
confusion around this by clearly noting it under the changelog.

See PHP 5 changelog:
"Changed the $context parameter on copy() to actually have an effect. (Kalle)"

I couldn't track down the actual bug ID though.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
