It's possible to connect to a DB but... closing a connection?

It's possible?

In PHP, theres a mysql_connect and a mysql_close. Here we connect to a DB (dont know well which function is) but, there's no function to close a connection!!

It's possible (or make the connection null)? How?

Thanks!! =)

As far as I know, you are correct. I haven't seen this in the user guide. Unless you are using pconnect, you probably don't need to close the connection. Even w/ pconnect, I'm not sure if you need to close the connection.

[eluser]punchi[/eluser]
If you'r using pconnect, you should close the connection. For a no-pconnect, it's necessary for big querys, because anyway at the end of the script PHP will close connections.

And, is better to have a connection "null" than closing it, at least that appear in discussions in PHP (both ways finish the connection, but closing it can close a TCP layer, giving problems)

So, i'll try the

Code:

$this->db = null;

idea, maybe that line give me an error, but well, I'll try something like that.

Thanks skunkbad! always helping (at least) to me =)
