Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] __Destruct() functionality
From: helly@php.net (Marcus Boerger)

Hello Florian,

there is no problem in calling resource destructors/terminators in your
destructors. You simply cannot output text to your pages from them. If
this is not true then we need to fix it. For example if an object of
yours holds a database connection and your destructor executes some
SQL code this must work. Open a bug report if necessary.

regards
marcus
