am i missing something or destructor isn`t called for objects that are assigned to static fields in other objects? here is some example code: <?php class c1 { public function __destruct() {
    echo '__destruct';
} } class c2 { private static $_ref; public function __construct() {
    self::$_ref = new c1();
    //$this->_ref =  new c1();
} } $obj = new c2(); unset($obj); ?> i thought this should display __destruct in both cases from c2::__construct, but only the one with non static access seems to call c1::destruct. and if i remove unsetting $obj from the end of code this one also doesn`t work. is it expected behaviour? or maybe when __destructor is called after script finishes execution than output is no longer possible? i tried also send some information to file and this also didn`t work. help please :) php 5.0.3 rash
