Note Submitter: jerry ---- Note the little correction on graced's notes below: Your explanation looks correct about how instances created and destroyed, just wanted to correct some errors in your code below. But Thank you greatly for explaining that I appreciate it. <?php $obj1 = new stdclass(); var_dump($obj1); // object #1 $obj1 = new stdclass(); var_dump($obj1); // object #2 // no more references to object #1, so it is destroyed. $obj1 = new stdclass(); // object #1 (object #2 destroyed right after this expression) var_dump($obj1); $obj2 = $obj1; // two variables now reference object #1 $obj1 = new stdclass(); // becomes object #2 var_dump($obj1); $obj1 = new stdclass(); // object #3 var_dump($obj1); ?> Output: object(stdClass)#1 (0) { } object(stdClass)#2 (0) { } object(stdClass)#1 (0) { } object(stdClass)#2 (0) { } object(stdClass)#3 (0) { }
