They may not be that important. AFAIK all resources are freed/closed as the script exits, so this is why mysql connections are often not closed... > 2. <http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-dir.php> > > User contributions needs to condense the multiple posts of > > james.elkins@usinfotel.com > 17-Jul-2002 01:05 All notes were buggy.
