Zeev, There's something I don't understand: destruction order respects dependences when existing functions (except for circular references, but it's normal). So why does it seem so complicated to implement the same mechanism for global variables at a first step? This would resolve all the non-circular references. And then, in an unpredictable order for remaining variables. Regards, Stephane -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
