mysqli::close
mysqli_close
Closes a previously opened database connection
Description
Object oriented style
bool mysqli::close
( void
)
bool mysqli_close
( mysqli $link
)
Open non-persistent MySQL connections and result sets are automatically destroyed when a
PHP script finishes its execution. So, while explicitly closing open
connections and freeing result sets is optional, doing so is recommended.
This will immediately return resources to PHP and MySQL, which can
improve performance. For related information, see
freeing resources
Parameters

link
-
Procedural style only: A link identifier
returned by mysqli_connect or mysqli_init
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Examples
See mysqli_connect.
Notes
Note:
mysqli_close will not close persistent connections.
For additional details, see the manual page on
