I'm not; I was just disputing the assertion that an object is a
collection of code and variables.

In most situations, yes. But the whole point of having an object delete
itself (in OO languages in general) is in situations where there are
intentionally no external pointers/references to it. In PHP, I can't
see how such a situation could exist, though.
The point is moot, however, because the language doesn't allow it...
