Sometimes you may want to get a copy of your object (a new object with all properties copied). Doctrine provides a simple method for this: {{Doctrine_Record::copy()}}.
<code type="php">
// get a simple copy
$copy = $user->copy();
</code>
Notice that copying the record with copy() returns a new record (state TDIRTY) with the values of the old record, but it does *not* copy the relations of that record. If you want to copy the relations too, you need to use copyDeep().
