database connection close/resultset clearing

[yup33]

in asp its common to close the database connection and to set recordsets to nothing, is that necessary with php/mysql and if so what is the equivalent php code to:

Code: Select all

dbConnection.close
dbConnection = nothing
recordset = nothing


thanks

PHP will automaticly close the connection at the end of the script, but you may do it you'reself with mysql_close
This may be usefull when using a LOT of different database connections (may speed it up a little)
But it is not neccasary.
