mysql_free_result

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PECL mysql:1.0)

mysql_free_resultFree result memory

Description

bool mysql_free_result ( resource $result )

mysql_free_result() will free all memory associated with the result identifier result .

mysql_free_result() only needs to be called if you are concerned about how much memory is being used for queries that return large result sets. All associated result memory is automatically freed at the end of the script's execution.

Parameters

result

The result resource that is being evaluated. This result comes from a call to mysql_query().

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

If a non-resource is used for the result , an error of level E_WARNING will be emitted. It's worth noting that mysql_query() only returns a resource for SELECT, SHOW, EXPLAIN, and DESCRIBE queries.

Examples

Example #1 A mysql_free_result() example

<?php
$result 
mysql_query("SELECT id,email FROM people WHERE id = '42'");
if (!
$result) {
    echo 
'Could not run query: ' mysql_error();
    exit;
}
/* Use the result, assuming we're done with it afterwards */
$row mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

/* Now we free up the result and continue on with our script */
mysql_free_result($result);

echo 
$row['id'];
echo 
$row['email'];
?>
