Is there a way in PHP to destroy an object from within that same object?
An object is an instance of a class. Using the PHP unset() function, we can delete an object. So with the PHP unset() function, putting the object that we want to delete as the parameter to this function, we can delete this object.
unset() destroys the specified variables.
PHP has a garbage collector which will take care of removing objects from memory once they are not being used any longer.
To start with stdClass object is empty or null. The default PHP object is stdClass , and the stdClass is commonly an empty class. There are no properties, functions, or parents for stdClass.
If a method is called in the object's context then there has to be at least one reference to that object. And since php only removes unreachable objects the answer is: no.
