Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #7766 Updated: not OO until automatic class destructor is added

Then why did you add classes? Are you luring commercial corporations like ours only to treat us like shit when we make a valid request. If I release your response out onto the net, I think many businesses will think twice about your attitude. As I said below, we are contemplating becoming a Zend purchaser and $cash supporter of PHP, but I think your attitude sucks. Who are you? You can see my signature below. I hope you reconsider your position. The lack of a destructor is going to cause major distortions with the use of classes down the line. Certainly you want to make the best possible product and certainly sales of Zend will hinge on more complex projects, and certainly people with $ will want OO which is why you added classes in the first place.
