PHP oops - Destructor

What is PHP oops - Destructor?

A destructor is called when the object is destructed or release any object from its memory.

A destructor is used to clean up resources from the memory.

You can define destructor by using __destruct function.

A Destructor method doesn't take any arguments

A Destructor does not return any data type.

The automatic destruction of class objects is handled by PHP Garbage Collector.

PHP Syntax:

function __destruct()
