ID: 25418 User updated by: alexandre dot boyer7 at wanadoo dot fr Reported By: alexandre dot boyer7 at wanadoo dot fr Status: Bogus Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Operating System: WIN 2000 PHP Version: 5CVS-2003-09-07 (dev) New Comment:
I read the doc and i understood the results return, but i don't know how todispose an object that is referenced by several references. For example, if i have 3 references that reference an object in an array, how can i dispose the object in that array (set it to null) with one of my references ? For the moment, i use singleton to achieve it but it's heavy. I think a free() or dispose() function is needed which destroys an object and set all references to null;needn't it ?

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php If you unset() something, you remove the link from the variable name to the value. All other references still exist, because the variable name is not the same as the one you unset().
