The lack of an automatic class destructor makes it impossible to make code completely OO.

For example, we have a Table class which outputs an HTML <TABLE> with error checking.  It is impossible to detect the case where Table::EndTable() is not called (</TABLE> not issued) because class destructors do not exist in the PHP4 language.

PLEASE CORRECT THIS GLARING DEFICIENCY ASAP!

I am a prolific commercial programming of $million products (Corel Painter, Cool Page, etc).  PHP4 is a an incredible tool.  We are considering purchasing the new compiler technology.  So please fix this silly omission.  Please.  Please.

Nobody ever claimed that PHP was an OO language.

Then why add classes?  Are you implying to businesses that if they invest in your features, you do not intend to complete them?
