(PHP 4, PHP 5)
mysql_free_result — 释放结果内存
$result
)
mysql_free_result() 将释放所有与结果标识符
result 所关联的内存。
mysql_free_result() 仅需要在考虑到返回很大的结果集时会占用多少内存时调用。在脚本结束后所有关联的内存都会被自动释放。
成功时返回 TRUE， 或者在失败时返回 FALSE。
为向下兼容仍然可以使用 mysql_freeresult()，但反对这样做。
成功时返回 TRUE， 或者在失败时返回 FALSE。
If a non-resource is used for the result, an
error of level E_WARNING will be emitted. It's worth noting that
mysql_query() only returns a resource
for SELECT, SHOW, EXPLAIN, and DESCRIBE queries.
Example #1 A mysql_free_result() example
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT id,email FROM people WHERE id = '42'");
if (!$result) {
echo 'Could not run query: ' . mysql_error();
exit;
}
/* Use the result, assuming we're done with it afterwards */
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
/* Now we free up the result and continue on with our script */
mysql_free_result($result);
echo $row['id'];
echo $row['email'];
?>
Note:
为了向下兼容，可以使用下列已废弃的别名： mysql_freeresult()

mysql_query() also returns a resource for "OPTIMIZE TABLE" statements!

I agree with Joachim Kruyswijk (posted on 14-Jun-2005 11:42). I just did the test on my beta version of my new site (who needs to get dynamically news and user login from a database) and i use 1000kb less memory when i do not use mysql_free_result. I guess it is because the data it needs to load are not that large (for news: date, short description and for the user login: username, password). It may only be in the user control panel that it will be more, but since that isn't developed totally yet, i'll have to test :p

yes this function may increase the memory usage if you use unbuffered querys and if you have not fetched all the data from mysql. in this case the mysql api has a problem: you want to free the result but do not want to close the connection. now mysql will only accept another query if all data has been fetched, so the api now must fetch the rest of the data when calling mysql_free_result().
so only use unbuffered querys if you fetch all the data (and need it).

If you're seeing warnings like "Warning: Unknown: 6 result set(s) not freed. Use mysql_free_result to free result sets which were requested using mysql_query() in Unknown on line 0" and want to turn them off, set mysql.trace_mode = Off in your php.ini

ALWAYS use this function! I just encountered a bug in my code where I forgot to use this function. I also happen to be using mysql_pconnect() for a persistent connection. If you forget to free the result, it can hold the old result set open indefinitely within the HTTP process.
The upshot (in my application) was that I did updates that happened in a different HTTP process, but they mysteriously didn't show up in another HTTP process. After panicking that MySQL had mysterious data corruption and/or synchronization problems, I traced it back to this where an old result set was held open.

yes, i encountered that too. as far as i could tell, that's because the script is stored in memory after being compiled and that's as much more memory as it needs for a call to that function.
if you always get lotsa data in your results, using this function will decrease memory usage tho, unless you use non-buffered queries (which are preferable unless you absolutely *have* to use mysql_seek(), or you need to do another query while the last one hasn't finished reporting back, as they can provide a small speedup)

You not need to use this if you are using PHP 4.
The comment below this comment may explain why it's actually costing more memory.
Joachim Kruyswijk (2005-06-14 02:42:03)
Using this function may actually increase the amount of memory used. In my case, the script used 208 bytes less memory when *not* using mysql_free_result().
Check for yourself: call memory_get_usage() at the end of the script.
