Redeclaring or Deleting a Class object

[Immulsifier]

Hi Guys

Hopefully you can help. If I declare a class like this:

$class = new Class

If I wanted to delete this class how would I do it?

unset($class);

Yeah i have tried unset but it wont seem to remove it. What I have is this:

white loop {
file is required with class in
functions within that class are executed
}

Now each time the while is run a different file is required, but within each of the files, I have the same class name. I have tried unset before the while loops to the next round but it still insists that the class has already been declared, even tho I unset it.

I think we're confusing class and object here. When you instantiate an object with...

$class = new Class();

...then $class is an object instantiated from the class named "Class". You can unset() the object, but to the best of my knowledge you cannot "unset" the class definition itself (just as you cannot unset a user-defined function).

The best solution I can suggest (pending a deeper understanding of what you are trying to accomplish) is to keep your class definitions in include files which are separate from any procedural includes (those that actually instantiate objects from those classes). Then any time you include a file which is a class definition, use require_once or include_once so as to avoid an attempt to redefine an already defined class.
