RE: __construct __destruct in PHP 4

Hi,

Yes I have been reading both sections and is aware of the different sections
for PHP 4 and 5. I was just hoping there was something missing in the manual
for PHP 4 as I'd love to have a __destruct method to work with. There are
other solutions around this. Basically I just want to make sure that the
objects that have a save() method are saved correctly before they are
destroyed. With PHP 4 I just need to do this "manually". I could probably
just write a cleanup function that will be executed in the end of each
scripts that checks if objects have a save() method and then executes that
one. Or better: Check if there is a method __destruct() existing and use
that when cleaning up. Then it would be forward compatible with PHP 5 as
well :)

Best regards,

In PHP 4 the constructor has the same name as the class (like C++). See
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.constructor.php

There is no destructor in PHP 4.

PS The manual has two sets of OOP documentation: one for PHP 4 &  
another for PHP 5. Make sure you're viewing the right set.
