I read on a tutorial (I think on phpfreaks.com; not sure) that it was bad to leave DB connections open. I can't remember their reason for this; it might have been something to do with the webhost having to waste bandwidth or something??? not sure
So what you are saying is that I can open a connection at the beginning of a php script, and not have to bother to close it? I hope you are right, since it would make my life a hell of a lot easier. Does anyone else agree/disagree?
Thanks for your help.
