mysql_close

Close MySQL connection (PHP 3, PHP 4 )
bool mysql_close ( [resource link_identifier ] )

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

mysql_close() closes the connection to the MySQL server that's associated with the specified link identifier. If link_identifier isn't specified, the last opened link is used.

Using mysql_close() isn't usually necessary, as non-persistent open links are automatically closed at the end of the script's execution. See also freeing resources.

Note:

mysql_close() will not close persistent links created by mysql_pconnect().

Example 586. MySQL close example

<?php
   $link
= mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password")
       or die(
"Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
   print (
"Connected successfully");
   
mysql_close($link);
?>
