Hi, I want to make sure I completely understand __destruct() and when its hit... Understand that it will run if all references to a particular object are removed, but is that also true when a page ends its execution? Example, I call a database class. It constructs, connects, then my page pulls some stuff out of the database, and then the php script ends. Does this also cause the deconstruct to execute?
When a script ends everything is released (with some small exceptions), thus also all references to instances of classes. Thus AFAIK a deconstructor will always be called at the end of script execution.
