PHP Functions Essential Reference

mysql_close

bool mysql_close(mysql link connection) 

Closes a MySQL connection.

Returns:

TRUE on success; FALSE on failure

Description:

mysql_close() closes a MySQL connection opened by mysql_connect(). The connection to close is specified with the connection argument. If no argument is specified, the last opened connection is closed.

Use of this function is not required. Connections opened by mysql_connect() close automatically on script exit.

Note:

mysql_close() cannot close the persistent connections that are opened by mysql_pconnect(). These connections last beyond the life of the script that opened them. PHP closes them as needed.
