Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [VOTE] Weak References
From: juzna.cz@gmail.com (Jan Dolecek)

Thanks Etienne,

I was waiting for this for a while! I wrote a blog post how to get
best benefits from weak references:
http://blog.juzna.cz/2011/08/weak-references-in-php/
Perhaps this will help showing people what are they good for.

And thanks to PECL extension I hope we can start using them in my
company very soon in our extension of Zend_Db.
