note 84911 added to function.unset

if you try to unset an object, please be careful about references. Objects will only free their resources and trigger their __destruct method when *all* references are unsetted. Even when they are *in* the object... sigh! <?php class A { function __destruct() { echo "cYa later!!\n"; } } $a = new A(); $a -> a = $a; #unset($a); # Just uncomment, and you'll see echo "No Message ... hm, what now?\n"; unset($a -> a); unset($a); echo "Finally that thing is gone\n"; ?> Of course the object completely dies at the end of the script. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 91.62.49.148 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unset.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84911 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84911/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84911/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84911/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84911/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84911/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84911/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84911 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84911 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
