(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

pg_free_resultFree result memory

Description

pg_free_result(PgSql\Result $result): bool

pg_free_result() frees the memory and data associated with the specified PgSql\Result instance.

This function need only be called if memory consumption during script execution is a problem. Otherwise, all result memory will be automatically freed when the script ends.

Note:

This function used to be called pg_freeresult().

Parameters

result

An PgSql\Result instance, returned by pg_query(), pg_query_params() or pg_execute()(among others).

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Changelog

Version Description
8.1.0 The result parameter expects an PgSql\Result instance now; previously, a resource was expected.

Examples

Example #1 pg_free_result() example

<?php
$db
= pg_connect("dbname=users user=me") || die();

$res = pg_query($db, "SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 2");

$val = pg_fetch_result($res, 1, 0);

echo
"First field in the second row is: ", $val, "\n";

pg_free_result($res);
?>

The above example will output:

First field in the second row is: 2
