note 76710 added to language.oop5.decon

i have written a quick example about the order of destructors and shutdown functions in php 5.2.1: <?php class destruction { var $name; function destruction($name) { $this->name = $name; register_shutdown_function(array(&$this, "shutdown")); } function shutdown() { echo 'shutdown: '.$this->name."\n"; } function __destruct() { echo 'destruct: '.$this->name."\n"; } } $a = new destruction('a: global 1'); function test() { $b = new destruction('b: func 1'); $c = new destruction('c: func 2'); } test(); $d = new destruction('d: global 2'); ?> this will output: shutdown: a: global 1 shutdown: b: func 1 shutdown: c: func 2 shutdown: d: global 2 destruct: b: func 1 destruct: c: func 2 destruct: d: global 2 destruct: a: global 1 conclusions: destructors are always called on script end. destructors are called in order of their "context": first functions, then global objects objects in function context are deleted in order as they are set (older objects first). objects in global context are deleted in reverse order (older objects last) shutdown functions are called before the destructors. shutdown functions are called in there "register" order. ;) regards, J ---- Server IP: 212.24.129.51 Probable Submitter: 193.84.94.131 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/76710 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76710/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76710/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76710/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76710/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76710/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76710/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76710 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/76710 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
