public function Connection::destroy

Destroys this Connection object.

PHP does not destruct an object if it is still referenced in other variables. In case of PDO database connection objects, PHP only closes the connection when the PDO object is destructed, so any references to this object may cause the number of maximum allowed connections to be exceeded.
