Description:
------------
Hi, I was just wondering, how to make a destructor in a class not run in some sort of situations (especially: after calling die() function) and then I realised that it's impossible. But actually why?

Of course I can call a function manually but I think destructors were created so that I can use them at the end of script execution time. That's why I don't see a reason, why I shouldn't use them.
Of course I can use also register_shutdown_function(); but then I can't change the output, since it is executed after ending with sending request to webbrowser.

I think this feature (or change, call it as you want) will be sth, what will make die() function different from exit language construct.

Consider this, please.

changing the behavior would break everybody relying on the current one. And it's not worth to introduce such a specific feature to the core, you can easily do something like

function my_own_die() {
    $GLOBALS['in_shutdown'] = true;
}

and then check that value in destructors...

for more info check other support facilities like the generals list, see php.net/support.php
