i need to be able to update a model, and keep an old copy of it temporarily

guys, need a solution: i need to be able to update a model, and keep an old copy of it temporarily; seems when i use a replicated model, and call a relation on that model, laravel grabs the updated model. i want to generate an email that has the old info and new info (which is the same model), but somehow it falls apart as mentioned; i’m hoping to be able to keep the old model so i can leverage relations, etc, rather than do a data object

how are you copying the object? You cant just say $object2 = $object;. Then you just pass a reference, and the 2 will reference the same object
you have to do: $object2 = clone $object; Some basic testing using tinker seems to suggest this works as expected. I keep seeing the old values.
