Please be aware of when using __destruct() in which you are unsetting variables...

Consider the following code:
<?php
class my_class {
public
$error_reporting = false;

function
__construct($error_reporting = false) {
$this->error_reporting = $error_reporting;
}

function
__destruct() {
if(
$this->error_reporting === true) $this->show_report();
unset(
$this->error_reporting);
}
?>

The above will result in an error:
Notice: Undefined property: my_class::$error_reporting in my_class.php on line 10

It appears as though the variable will be unset BEFORE it actually can execute the if statement. Removing the unset will fix this. It's not needed anyways as PHP will release everything anyways, but just in case you run across this, you know why ;)
