Re: __Destruct() functionality

Hello Gareth, __destruct will get executed during request shutdown after the communication has been shutdown. The only way to be able to write from within __destruct is to deinitialize it at the end of the script and therefore before the request is being finished. To do so you can use 'unset($object);' regards marcus Thursday, June 24, 2004, 1:27:30 PM, you wrote: > ok, > If this is fixed in cvs, I appologise - google wasn't suggesting that > this has come up before. > I've just been playing around with the __destruct() function a little > bit, and seeing exactly what I could do with it. > Basically, I have a company info class, and a logger class.
