Actually, it's much better practice to use the correct variable names. :P
"Cleaning up" won't help you if the script is incorrect, so the benefit of
unsetting variables is limited, at least with regards to error control.  There
may be memory and/or storage benefits, but I am not aware of any that are
significant.

Subject:  should each php-script clean up it's mysql connections


Hi,

 I just noticed something I haven't done before. I was writing this piece
of code:

 $articlequery = "SELECT somestuff FROM sometable";
 $result = mysql_query($query);
 $row = mysql_fetch_row($result);

 But I didn't get the result I expected. Finally, I noticed that my new
querystring was $articlequery and not $query. The query saved to $query was
apperently some old query used in another php-script within my site.

 Therefore I wonder: Is it a good behavior to end connections or let every
php-script clean up after it self in some way?
