     PHP 5 introduces a destructor concept similar to that of other
-    object-oriented languages, such as Java: When the last reference to an
-    object is destroyed the object's destructor, which is a class method
-    named <function>__destruct</function>  that receives no parameters, is
-    called before the object is freed from memory.
+    object-oriented languages, such as Java.  The destructor method will be
+    called as soon as all references to a paticular object are removed or when
+    the object is explicitly destroyed.
