mysql_free_result
Name
mysql_free_result — 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.
Example
Example 816. 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);
