Note Submitter: nino dot skopac at gmail dot com ---- Interesting behavior in PHP 5.6.12 and PHP 7 RC3: <?php class Foo { public function Bar() { static $var = 0; return ++$var; } } $Foo_instance = new Foo; print $Foo_instance->Bar(); // prints 1 print PHP_EOL; unset($Foo_instance); $Foo_instance2 = new Foo; print $Foo_instance2->Bar(); // prints 2 print PHP_EOL; ?> How can a 2 be printed, since we unseted the whole instance before? Consider a similar example: <?php class Foo { public static $var = 0; public static function Bar() { return ++self::$var; } } $Foo_instance = new Foo; print $Foo_instance->Bar(); // prints 1 print PHP_EOL; unset($Foo_instance); $Foo_instance2 = new Foo; print $Foo_instance2->Bar(); // prints 2 print PHP_EOL; ?> No idea why is this happening.
