Neither is. Cloning simply copies a previously constructed object while
__wakeup() changes the state of a previously constructed object.

I don't and never did.

Serialization creates a kind of "frozen" copy of an object. The original
object continues to exist and its destructor is called as expected.
Later, the "frozen" copy is "warmed up" and can pretend to be the
original object, but it is not the same object. The __sleep() and
__wakeup() methods simply assist with the freezing and warming up and
have nothing to do with the copying.

To sum it up: A new object can be created by either constructing it
(which calls __construct()) or by copying an existing object (via clone
or via serialization) and this happens without calling __construct() on
the copy since the object is already constructed. And this explains why
there may be more __destruct() calls than __construct() calls in a script.

Thomas
