Parameters

Return Values

Returns TRUE if the reference was valid and could be turned into a strong reference, FALSE otherwise.

Examples

Example #1 Weakref::acquire() example

<?php
class MyClass {
    public function 
__destruct() {
        echo 
"Destroying object!\n";
    }
}

$o1 = new MyClass;

$r1 = new Weakref($o1);

$r1->acquire();

echo 
"Unsetting o1...\n";
unset(
$o1);

$o2 $r1->get();

$r1->release();

echo 
"Unsetting o2...\n";
unset(
$o2);
