I've seen some posts that about debugging errors associated with mysqli_close(), more then once ive users have responded saying that it is not really necessary to close a connection?

If its not necessary, why have a function for it?

If it is, why and when is this important?

My Google Search was "mysqli_close". The duplicate was the third search result. – Robert Harvey Jul 23 '14 at 16:03
