unset is the proper way to destroy a variable, its faster than say setting $myArray = array(); &nbsp;Your also freeing up more memory by destroying the variable completely. &nbsp;:-) &nbsp;(even if it is only a little)

in php 5, &nbsp;what is the best way to destroy an object instance?<br />
For example:<br />
$myObj = new clsMyClass();<br />
... use the object<br />
<br />
unset($myObj) ; &nbsp; &nbsp; // is this the best way? &nbsp;Is &nbsp;$myObj = NULL; &nbsp;better?<br />
<br />
Do destructors defined in the class always run in either method above?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance
