note 37241 added to function.unset

I recognized that it is not possible to unset a global variable in a function. The variable will be unset only locally, after leaving the function the variable and its old contents are still available. $x = 10; function test() { global $x; unset ($x); echo "x: $x<br>"; } test(); echo "x: $x<br>"; will give the result: x: x: 10 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unset.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+37241 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+37241&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+37241&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
