Does PHP closing tag destructs an instantiated class (object)?

Question

<?php
  class Student { public $name = "Benjamin"; }
  $name = new Student();
?>

<p>Hello, there. My name is <?php $name->name ?></p>

The above code doesn't work as intended (printing the name within "p" tags). But the below code, of course, does work:

<?php
class Student { public $name = "Benjamin"; }
$name = new Student();

echo '<p>Hello, there. My name is ' . $name->name . '</p>';
?>

---

Is the class being destructed when closing PHP tags?

Is there a work-around for the second code example?

Thanks, as always.

Answer 1

Your forgot to echo $name->name, so your code should look like:

<p>Hello, there. My name is <?php echo $name->name ?></p>

Answer 2

Don't forget the echo in

<p>Hello, there. My name is <?php echo $name->name ?></p>

No

Answer 3

You're missing an echo before $name, so it becomes:

<?php echo $name->name; ?>

Answer 4

I haven't touched PHP in a long time but,

• no it doesn't
• would <?php $name->name ?> really print it?
