you can use unset($this), but it'll only work if there are no
other variables referencing to this object. unset only unsets the reference
to value, not the value itself. PHP will unset the value totally, if there
are no references to it anymore.
so using $this = null; , is perhaps the better solution.
example for unset not unsetting the value but the reference:
<?php
class test {
var $test1 = "";
function test($str) {
$this->test1 = $str;
}
function kill() {
unset($this);
}
}
$new =& new test("hallo");
$test = &$new;
$new->kill();
echo $test->test1;
?>
this will output hallo, although you called unset($this).
