When do you use ..

mysql_close($conn);

? all the time or just when allowing writing of table entries?

when ever you have a 1500 lines script which finish dealing with MySQL in the first 10 lines!
it's up to you to use it or not.. but if you are not using the connection in the rest of the file you can close it yourself or just leave it for PHP to deal with it.

Really? What's the "hilarious" part? I've written numerous scripts that long and longer, some of them are over 20,000 lines.

it's insufficient! and would cause some heavy resource consumptions.

Did you mean "inefficient"? (How could you tell if the code is "insufficient" without seeing it?)

It seems to run fine and doesn't cause an undue load on the server as far as I'm able to determine.

Are you saying that people just shouldn't write large PHP scripts for any reason? I'm not sure I understand your comment, or the reasoning behind it. Would you please clarify what you mean?

yes, this is what I meant.. sorry about that..

as for the resource consumption, I was wrong when I said heavy! but it does consume more than it should if that file was supposed to be included!
imagine a 1500 lines file which has lots and lots of function definitions.. and you include that file to everypage even the ones that uses 2 or 3 functions out of ,let's say, our 40 functions..
that's what I meant ..
of course if the file will be completly executed, then that's fine
