# MysqlndUhConnection::close

Closes a previously opened database connection

### Description

public bool MysqlndUhConnection::close ( mysqlnd_connection `$connection` , int `$close_type` )

Closes a previously opened database connection.

> Note:

> Failing to call the parent implementation may cause memory leaks or crash PHP. This is not considered a bug. Please, keep in mind that the mysqlnd library functions have never been designed to be exposed to the user space.

### Parameters

`connection`

  The connection to be closed. Do not modify!

`close_type`

  Why the connection is to be closed. The value of `close_type` is one of `MYSQLND_UH_MYSQLND_CLOSE_EXPLICIT`, `MYSQLND_UH_MYSQLND_CLOSE_IMPLICIT`, `MYSQLND_UH_MYSQLND_CLOSE_DISCONNECTED` or `MYSQLND_UH_MYSQLND_CLOSE_LAST`. The latter should never be seen, unless the default behaviour of the mysqlnd library has been changed by a plugin.

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success. Otherwise, returns `FALSE`

### Examples

Example #1 MysqlndUhConnection::close example

`<?php
function close_type_to_string($close_type) {
$mapping = array(
MYSQLND_UH_MYSQLND_CLOSE_DISCONNECTED => "MYSQLND_UH_MYSQLND_CLOSE_DISCONNECTED",
MYSQLND_UH_MYSQLND_CLOSE_EXPLICIT => "MYSQLND_UH_MYSQLND_CLOSE_EXPLICIT",
MYSQLND_UH_MYSQLND_CLOSE_IMPLICIT => "MYSQLND_UH_MYSQLND_CLOSE_IMPLICIT",
MYSQLND_UH_MYSQLND_CLOSE_LAST => "MYSQLND_UH_MYSQLND_CLOSE_IMPLICIT"
);
return (isset($mapping[$close_type])) ? $mapping[$close_type] : 'unknown';
}
class proxy extends MysqlndUhConnection {
public function close($res, $close_type) {
printf("%s(%s)\n", __METHOD__, var_export(func_get_args(), true));
printf("close_type = %s\n", close_type_to_string($close_type));
/* WARNING: you must call the parent */
$ret = parent::close($res, $close_type);
printf("%s returns %s\n", __METHOD__, var_export($ret, true));
return $ret;
}
}
mysqlnd_uh_set_connection_proxy(new proxy());
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "", "test");
$mysqli->close();
?>`

The above example will output:

    proxy::close(array (
      0 => NULL,
      1 => 0,
    ))
    close_type = MYSQLND_UH_MYSQLND_CLOSE_EXPLICIT
    proxy::close returns true
