Description:
------------

From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.generators.comparison
---

The page http://php.net/manual/en/language.generators.comparison.php currently reads:

"This also means that the same generator can't be iterated over multiple times: the generator will need to either be rebuilt by calling the generator function again, or cloned via the clone keyword."

The last bit is incorrect: a generator cannot be cloned (Fatal error: Trying to clone an uncloneable object of class Generator in ...). I think you need to delete the "or cloned via the clone keyword" part (and also the "either" before).

The error is also present in translations.
