note 116179 added to oop4.constructor

"There are no destructors in PHP. You may use register_shutdown_function() instead to simulate most effects of destructors. " I thought this was a particularly strange statement, seeing as that I use __construct() en __destruct() the whole time. And surely, from http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php we can read this: "void __destruct ( void ) PHP 5 introduces a destructor concept similar to that of other object-oriented languages, such as C++. The destructor method will be called as soon as there are no other references to a particular object, or in any order during the shutdown sequence. " And even: "The destructor will be called even if script execution is stopped using exit(). Calling exit() in a destructor will prevent the remaining shutdown routines from executing." So PHP definitely supports destructors. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 88.159.23.235 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/oop4.constructor.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/116179 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116179/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116179/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116179/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116179/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116179/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116179/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116179 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/116179 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
