I could be wrong, and often am :-), but I believe that PHP4 "knows" about
MySQL resources, and if you don't have any variables capable of accessing
them any more (IE, you did unset($result)), then it's smart enough to do the
mysql_free_result for you...
This is, however, no excuse for you not writing less sloppy code in the
first place, now that you are educated enough to know what you are doing.
:-) Use mysql_free_result() if the memory de-allocation is important to
you.
