php教程变量销毁unset的用法
unset -- 释放给定的变量
描述
void unset ( mixed var [, mixed var [, ...]])
unset() 销毁指定的变量。注意在 PHP 3 中，unset() 将返回 TRUE（实际上是整型值 1），而在 PHP 4 中，unset() 不再是一个真正的函数：它现在是一个语句。这样就没有了返回值，试图获取 unset() 的返回值将导致解析错误。
参考php手册：

I hope this helps教程.
如此便能够说明php 的 unset是如何进行的
先要强调的一点是unset在php中已经不再是一个函数了，既然不是函数，那么就没有了返回值，所以用的时候不能够用unset的返回值来做判断。
其次，在函数中，unset只能销毁局部变量，并不能销毁全局变量，来看下手册的一个例子
<?php
function destroy_foo() {
global $foo;
unset($foo);
}
$foo = ‘bar’;
destroy_foo();
echo $foo;
?>
返回的结果为
bar
