all so every time I use my include('conn/conn.php'); which is my database connection. let's say I have an, if, statement is it correct if I say $conn->close(); after the else statement as shown below?

I mean it makes sense to me cuz I won't need to use the database connection anymore so I close it.

IF($something == true){
// do some code here related to the databse
}else{
$conn->close();
echo "something went wrong please try again";
}

echo MyName

This depends on however `$conn->close();` is implemented. Can you share more details? – Nico Haase Nov 12 '20 at 07:57
The dupe talks about `mysql_close()`, but the principle is the same for any type of connection (IMHO). – Nigel Ren Nov 12 '20 at 08:00
yeah sure i just do a MySQLi Object-Oriented connection to my database – echo MyName Nov 12 '20 at 08:00
w3schools say for mysqli object orieted i should use conn->close(); – echo MyName Nov 12 '20 at 08:01
but now my question is lets say i have multiple if and else statements should i close my conn every time ??? because thats what i do – echo MyName Nov 12 '20 at 08:03
