PDO::beginTransaction
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PECL pdo:0.1-1.0.3)
PDO::beginTransaction —
Initiates a transaction
Description
bool PDO::beginTransaction
( void
)
Some databases, including MySQL, automatically issue an implicit
COMMIT when a database definition language (DDL) statement such as
DROP TABLE or CREATE TABLE is issued within a transaction. The implicit
COMMIT will prevent you from rolling back any other changes within the
transaction boundary.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Examples
Example #1 Roll back a transaction
The following example begins a transaction and issues two statements
that modify the database before rolling back the changes. On MySQL,
however, the DROP TABLE statement automatically commits the
transaction so that none of the changes in the transaction are rolled
back.
<?php
/* Begin a transaction, turning off autocommit */
$dbh->beginTransaction();
/* Change the database schema and data */
$sth = $dbh->exec("DROP TABLE fruit");
$sth = $dbh->exec("UPDATE dessert
SET name = 'hamburger'");
/* Recognize mistake and roll back changes */
$dbh->rollBack();
/* Database connection is now back in autocommit mode */
?>
