Description:
------------
When the class is instantiated with a variable is working like one espect...
but the issue come when you want to miss the variable, because you don't use it or whatever reason..

Can be possible to act the same way both times ?

Examples below..

Test script:
---------------
<?php
class Html
{
    function __construct( ) { echo "Header\n"; }
    function __construct( ) { echo "\nFooter"; }
}

# without variable
new Html;
<p>Some html here...</p>

# with $html var...
$html = new Html;
<p>Some html here...</p>


Expected result:
----------------
Header
Some html here...
Footer

Header
Some html here...
Footer


Actual result:
--------------
Header
Footer <-- This is the problem...
Some html here...

Header
Some html here...
Footer

The destructor is called when where are no more references to an object. In case of a temporary value (just new Html that isn't assigned) this will happen right after the expression is evaluated.

$html = new Html;
<-- From here to the end of script there is no more references to that object...
<p>Some html here...</p>

P.S. Thank you for answering so fast :)

I just realized that you changed the status to "Not a bug"..
It was a request not a bug submit, I think will be more appropiate something like "Wont be implemented" or the normal.. "Wont fix"
