PHP Functions Essential Reference

mysql_free_result

bool mysql_free_result(mysql result result_handle) 

Frees memory taken up by a result handle.

Returns:

TRUE on success; FALSE otherwise

Description:

mysql_free_result() frees the memory used by a result handle, deleting the result handle in the process. In most cases, this function is unnecessary; PHP’s memory-management system automatically releases the memory used by result handles at the end of the script.

Version:

PHP 3+, PHP 4+

Example:

Free memory used by a MySQL result set

// Pretend that we have made a large query // but now we are done with the results and // want to free up memory to make another large query mysql_free_result ($mysql_result);
