When a PHP script is done executing all non-persistent connections will be closed.
Non-persistent connections are made with the _connect database functions so as long as you stick to that, there's nothing to worry about.

okay thanks!...

One more question what is a recursion? And how do i fix those? My website use to read "Out of memory on line 12"?

Error is based on coding and logic.
You have to increase your memory limit.
ini_set(’memory_limit’, '20M');

But if your script is in end level recursion, above solution wont work.
Make sure your recursive function has one limit and break somewhere.

okay, so the only thing I have to do is fix the PHP ini file to accept more memory?

I use a database singleton design pattern. That makes easy with single close throughout the session!

okay thank you! I will read up on that. ^_^
