Well there does seem to be another layer of referencing, since the a simple assignment without &$ will simply reference the object but in a different way. The problem I'm running into there doesn't seem to be a way to reliably detstroy an object without the programmer keeping track of the variable assignments and removing those references as well. I'm not sure if its possible or even php's responsibility but perhaps provide a tool that allow's a programmer to explicity destroy an object? with something like: Destroy($obj); Curt -- First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes you've been hearing about.
