MySQl, PostgreSQL... particularly in the case of PHP header() redirect. thanks Dave -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Ballard [mailto:Matthew@TheAirport.com] Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2000 1:26 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] closing database connection prior to redirection?
