I have a PHP class that, upon instantiation, creates a file that is unique to that instance of my class. In fact, the entire class is more of a wrapper around the file with various functions to operate on the file.
I would like the file to get removed when the class is deleted/unset/garbage-collected. Is this possible? I’m looking for some sort of magic function that PHP calls on every object to give it a chance to get it’s affairs in order before it’s killed.
Yes, use a destructor method.
