Automatic Garbage Collection

I have an list of items that is stored in the $_SERVER["my_key"]. Are these items garbage collected automatically?

$_SERVER is a superglobal array and all values in this array will be the one and only time garbage collected when the script finishes execution.

If there's nothing referencing the list (e.g. when you unset($_SERVER['my_key'])), it will be GC'd sooner or later (at the latest, when your script terminates).
