因为这在任何答案中都没有涉及，现在在PHP 5.3中可用(假设原始帖子使用5.2)。

为了维护数组结构并更改其值，我更喜欢使用array_replace或array_replace_recursive，这取决于我的用例。

下面是一个使用array_replace和array_replace_recursive的示例，演示它能够维护索引顺序并能够删除引用。

下面的代码使用PHP 5.4以来可用的短数组语法编写，该语法将array()替换为[]。 http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php

适用于偏移量索引数组和名称索引数组

$o1 = new stdClass;
$a = 'd';
//This is the base array or the initial structure
$o1->ar1 = ['a', 'b', ['ca', 'cb']];
$o1->ar1[3] = & $a; //set 3rd offset to reference $a

//direct copy (not passed by reference)
$o1->ar2 = $o1->ar1; //alternatively array_replace($o1->ar1, []);
$o1->ar1[0] = 'z'; //set offset 0 of ar1 = z do not change ar2
$o1->ar1[3] = 'e'; //$a = e (changes value of 3rd offset to e in ar1 and ar2)

//copy and remove reference to 3rd offset of ar1 and change 2nd offset to a new array
$o1->ar3 = array_replace($o1->ar1, [2 => ['aa'], 3 => 'd']);

//maintain original array of the 2nd offset in ar1 and change the value at offset 0
//also remove reference of the 2nd offset
//note: offset 3 and 2 are transposed
$o1->ar4 = array_replace_recursive($o1->ar1, [3 => 'f', 2 => ['bb']]);

var_dump($o1);

输出:

["ar1"]=>
  array(4) {
    [0]=>
    string(1) "z"
    [1]=>
    string(1) "b"
    [2]=>
    array(2) {
      [0]=>
      string(2) "ca"
      [1]=>
      string(2) "cb"
    }
    [3]=>
    &string(1) "e"
  }
  ["ar2"]=>
  array(4) {
    [0]=>
    string(1) "a"
    [1]=>
    string(1) "b"
    [2]=>
    array(2) {
      [0]=>
      string(2) "ca"
      [1]=>
      string(2) "cb"
    }
    [3]=>
    &string(1) "e"
  }
  ["ar3"]=>
  array(4) {
    [0]=>
    string(1) "z"
    [1]=>
    string(1) "b"
    [2]=>
    array(1) {
      [0]=>
      string(2) "aa"
    }
    [3]=>
    string(1) "d"
  }
  ["ar4"]=>
  array(4) {
    [0]=>
    string(1) "z"
    [1]=>
    string(1) "b"
    [2]=>
    array(2) {
      [0]=>
      string(2) "bb"
      [1]=>
      string(2) "cb"
    }
    [3]=>
    string(1) "f"
  }

这是我在Php中复制数组的方式:

function equal_array($arr){
  $ArrayObject = new ArrayObject($arr);
  return $ArrayObject->getArrayCopy();  
}

$test = array("aa","bb",3);
$test2 = equal_array($test);
print_r($test2);

这个输出:

Array
(
[0] => aa
[1] => bb
[2] => 3
)

在php数组中，你只需要将它们赋值给其他变量来获得数组的副本。但首先你需要确定它的类型，是array还是arrayObject还是stdObject。

对于简单php数组:

$a = array(
'data' => 10
);

$b = $a;

var_dump($b);

output:

array:1 [
  "data" => 10
]

foreach($a as $key => $val) $b[$key] = $val ;

同时保留键和值。数组a是数组b的精确副本
