Well i must admit i haven't tried with sessions yet. They are closed
during R-shutdown pahse and at least theoretically dtor's should be
called kust before R-shutdown begins. If that is not the case we must
either fix ext/session or something else. Until that is clear you need
an explicitly shutdown function for your singleton (one that unsets the
static member).

The dtor is called during shutdown. Yes, but to late!
In other bug reports, you called it a feature to use unset at the end
of a script inorder to get a reliable working destructor. Because
otherwise functions like $this->sessionWriteClose();, which rely on
other objects doesn't work reliable. That works fine, if you doesn't
use a classical singleton implementation. Because here unset does not
work (because there exist a private static reference inside the
object!), which means that the destructor doesn't work correctly
($this->sessionWriteClose() works not!).

If you said that, that isn't a bug, I have to suggest that a classical
singleton implementation with a reliable working destructor is not
possible in php?? Sounds poor ...

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. 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

The dtor is called during shutdown. I don\'t see the slightest problem
here.

Description:
------------
Destructor is not called to late. If you use a singleton pattern unset
does not work, because there exist a private static reference for the
object.

Why is the destructor called so unreliable?

Is such a singleton pattern not possible in PHP?

Or must the static $instance be public, inorder to unset it manually?
(Not a nice solution?!)

Reproduce code:
---------------
class Session { //Db Session (Singleton)

    static private $instance = false;

    private function __construct() { }

    public function __destruct() {
        $this->sessionWriteClose(); // e.G. store session data
    }

    static function instance() {
        if(!Session::$instance)
            Session::$instance = new Session();
        return Session::$instance;
    }
}

$OBJ_SESSION = Session::instance();
unset($OBJ_SESSION); // Does not work, because of the static private
$instance
