doubledee Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 When you open a database connection, how long does it stay open for? I have a "Change E-mail Address" script that has 4 queries in it, and I just realized that I don't create a DB Connection until Query #2 in my script, yet things work fine?! Is it possible that the DB Connection was opened earlier by another script and it is just persisting??

guinbRo Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 The connection should close automatically if not specifically closed before hand at the end of a script execution. If you call it earlier in your code, and don't close it, it would stay open even if it was in a file you are including.

scootstah Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I think you are opening a connection and you just don't realize it. You can't run queries without a connection.

doubledee Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 I think you are opening a connection and you just don't realize it. You can't run queries without a connection. You are correct. I had it in my "last_activity.php" file which I included in my "change_email.php" script.
