Unsetting References

When you unset the reference, you just break the binding between variable name and variable content. This does not mean that variable content will be destroyed. For example:

  <?php 
$a  =  1 ; 
 $b  =&  $a ; 
unset( $a );  
 ?>

won't unset $b, just $a.

Again, it might be useful to think about this as analogous to Unix unlink call.
