I don't know about mysql as I work with MSSQL Server and Informix, but for
me it works like this:
$insert = ifx_prepare("INSERT INTO my_table
VALUES ('0')", $connect_id);
ifx_do($insert) or die ("Query failed");
ifx_free_result($insert);
By using PREPARE and DO to execute the queries it allows ifx_free_result to
release those resources.
