What are the implications of using mysql_close() in PHP scripts, especially when dealing with persistent connections?
When using persistent connections in PHP scripts, calling mysql_close() explicitly is not necessary and can actually cause issues. Persistent connections are not closed with mysql_close(), as they are meant to be reused. Instead, PHP will automatically close persistent connections at the end of script execution.
// No action needed to close persistent connections
