LEARN ABOUT PHP
unset
UNSET(3) 1 UNSET(3)unset - Unset a given variableSYNOPSIS
void unset (mixed $var, [mixed $...])
DESCRIPTION unset(3) destroys the specified variables.
The behavior of unset(3) inside of a function can vary depending on what type of variable you are attempting to destroy.
If a globalized variable is unset(3) inside of a function, only the local variable is destroyed. The variable in the calling environment
will retain the same value as before unset(3) was called.
<?php
function destroy_foo()
{
global $foo;
unset($foo);
}
$foo = 'bar';
destroy_foo();
echo $foo;
?>
The above example will output:
bar
To unset(3) a global variable inside of a function, then use the $GLOBALS array to do so:
<?php
function foo()
{
unset($GLOBALS['bar']);
}
$bar = "something";
foo();
?>
If a variable that is PASSED BY REFERENCE is unset(3) inside of a function, only the local variable is destroyed. The variable in the
calling environment will retain the same value as before unset(3) was called.
<?php
function foo(&$bar)
{
unset($bar);
$bar = "blah";
}
$bar = 'something';
echo "$bar
";
foo($bar);
echo "$bar
";
?>
The above example will output:
something
something
If a static variable is unset(3) inside of a function, unset(3) destroys the variable only in the context of the rest of a function. Fol-
lowing calls will restore the previous value of a variable.
<?php
function foo()
{
static $bar;
$bar++;
echo "Before unset: $bar, ";
unset($bar);
$bar = 23;
echo "after unset: $bar
";
}
foo();
foo();
foo();
?>
The above example will output:
Before unset: 1, after unset: 23
Before unset: 2, after unset: 23
Before unset: 3, after unset: 23
PARAMETERS
o $var
- The variable to be unset.
o $...
- Another variable ...
RETURN VALUES
No value is returned.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
unset(3) example
<?php
// destroy a single variable
unset($foo);
// destroy a single element of an array
unset($bar['quux']);
// destroy more than one variable
unset($foo1, $foo2, $foo3);
?>
Example #2
Using (unset) casting
(unset) casting is often confused with the unset(3) function. (unset) casting serves only as a NULL-type cast, for completeness. It
does not alter the variable it's casting.
<?php
$name = 'Felipe';
var_dump((unset) $name);
var_dump($name);
?>
The above example will output:
NULL
string(6) "Felipe"
NOTES
Note
Because this is a language construct and not a function, it cannot be called using variable functions.
Note
It is possible to unset even object properties visible in current context.
Note
It is not possible to unset $this inside an object method since PHP 5.
Note
When using unset(3) on inaccessible object properties, the __unset() overloading method will be called, if declared.
