Actually, it's much better practice to use the correct variable names. :P "Cleaning up" won't help you if the script is incorrect, so the benefit of unsetting variables is limited, at least with regards to error control. There may be memory and/or storage benefits, but I am not aware of any that are significant. Edward Dudlik Becoming Digital www.becomingdigital.com Did I help you?

I was writing this piece of code: $articlequery = "SELECT somestuff FROM sometable"; $result = mysql_query($query); $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); But I didn't get the result I expected. Finally, I noticed that my new querystring was $articlequery and not $query. The query saved to $query was apperently some old query used in another php-script within my site. Therefore I wonder: Is it a good behavior to end connections or let every php-script clean up after it self in some way? -- anders thoresson -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
