I fail to see why. If we introduce a method that is called for unset() then there should be no problem with resetting the $children attribute to array() in my example: unset($parent) -> "magic method" -> $children = array() -> no references to $child objects Nothing would happen in the case that you describe where other references to the $child objects exist, of course. -- Sebastian Bergmann http://sebastian-bergmann.de/ GnuPG Key: 0xB85B5D69 / 27A7 2B14 09E4 98CD 6277 0E5B 6867 C514 B85B 5D69
