#27903 [Opn->Bgs]: Undesired behavior of class destructor

ID: 27903 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: schroeter at liquidvision dot net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Class/Object related Operating System: Winn2000 Server PHP Version: 5.0.0RC1 New Comment: You need to redesign your stuff, the destructor works just fine. (don't misuse it like you did) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-07 07:04:36] schroeter at liquidvision dot net Description: ------------ The __destruct() method seems buggy as the destructor is called after some system internals are already cleaned up (e.g. mysql extension, session etc.). Thus it is impossible to set e.g. session data in the destructor, leaving this mostly superfluous! I have prepared an example that shows the point in detail. This is also true for e.g. mysql_close() in the destructor!
