Introduction to PHP 5

PHP 5 also adds the concept of destructors, functions that are called when an instance of a class is destroyed.


<?php
class banana {
    function __construct() {
        echo "peel..peel..";
        echo "\n<br />\n";
    }

    function eat() {
        echo "chewy..chewy..";
        echo "\n<br />\n";
    }

    function __destruct() {
        echo "slip... crack!";
        echo "\n<br />\n";
    }
}

$b = new banana();
$b->eat();
?>
