copied!<p>The <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php#language.oop5.decon.destructor" rel="noreferrer">destructor</a> is called :</p> <ul> <li>for whatever object you have instanciated <ul> <li>in the portion of script you posted, you have not instanciated any object -- maybe that's the cause of no destructor being called ?</li> </ul></li> <li>at the end of the PHP script</li> </ul> <p>Using a header to redirect doesn't prevent the destructor from being called.</p> <p><br> Also note that the destructor is called at the end of the PHP script -- but doesn't prevent the redirection, as the header saying "redirect" has already been generated.</p> <p>For instance, with this code :</p> <pre><code>class Test { public function __destruct() { echo 'hehe'; file_put_contents('/tmp/test-desctructor.txt', "glop\n"); exit; } } $a = new Test(); header('Location: http://example.com/'); exit; </code></pre> <p><em>(Note that I corrected a few mistakes, and added an actual instanciation of the class)</em></p> <p>You will not see "<code>hehe</code>" on the output, but you'll find that the file <code>/tmp/test-desctructor.txt</code> has been created :</p> <pre><code>$ cat /tmp/test-desctructor.txt glop </code></pre> <p>You'll need to remove the redirection if you want to get the "<code>hehe</code>" on the ouput.</p> <p><br> The destructor is called after the header has been generated -- and calling exit from the destructor will not change the fact that that header has already been generated.</p> <p>Oh, and here is a note from the <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php#language.oop5.decon.destructor" rel="noreferrer">manual</a> <em>(quoting -- at the bottom of the page)</em> :</p> <blockquote> <p>Note: Destructors called during the script shutdown have HTTP headers already sent.</p> </blockquote> <p>This is why you don't see your "<code>hehe</code>" string : the destructor is called ; you just don't see it on the screen ;-)</p> <p>That's why I used a file in my example, btw ;-) </p>
