MySQL close function

[greggustin]

I have a form on my html page for new members to sign up
all is well
if lucky, some day might get 100 per day
do I need  "close funtion" at end of php posting page?
(it works now without it - but only 1 few per day)

You should use mysql_close() when you use a persistent connection when connecting to the MySQL server. You make a persistent connection using the mysql_pconnect() function. However if you used mysql_connect to connect to your MySQL database then you don't need to use mysql_close to close the connection as it will close the connection automatically when PHP finishes parsing the script.
