Description

int mysql_close ([int link_identifier])

Returns: true on success, false on error.

mysql_close() closes the link to a MySQL database that's associated with the specified link identifier. If the link identifier isn't specified, the last opened link is assumed.

Note: This isn't usually necessary, as non-persistent open links are automatically closed at the end of the script's execution.

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

Example 1. MySQL close example

<?php
    $link = mysql_connect ("kraemer", "marliesle", "secret")
        or die ("Could not connect");
    print ("Connected successfully");
    mysql_close ($link);
?>
