Why would you need such thing? PHP uses reference-counting and destroys objects as soon, as there are no more references to them. Since PHP 5.3, it also detects cyclic-references and periodically destroys object-groups which have references to each other, but do not have references from external context. -- Alexey Zakhlestin http://blog.milkfarmsoft.com/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
