mysql_close
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PECL mysql:1.0)
mysql_close — Close MySQL connection
Description
mysql_close() closes the non-persistent 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.
Parameters
- link_identifier
-
The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect() is assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect() was called with no arguments. If by chance no connection is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Examples
Example #1 mysql_close() example
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>
The above example will output:
Connected successfully
Notes
Note: mysql_close() will not close persistent links created by mysql_pconnect().
