unset() simply deletes the pointer to the data without releasing the space
held by the data.
mysql_free_result() releases the data storage pointed-to by the $result
pointer.
This is important because $result could be pointing-to a dataspace
containing a large number or rows returned by the mysql_query(). You WANT
to recover this dataspace.

Hello,
Maybe someone can tell me, the difference
b.e.

#or better mysql_free_result($result);
