Hi, long time no see ... I have been really busy the last while, don't even have time to breathe properly.
Anyhow, I don't quite understand MySql rollbacks properly, so here is my question:

I have something like the following:

Code: [ Select ]
include_once("class.data.php");
include_once("class.something.php");
//the 'something' class extends the 'data' class.
$something = New Something();
$something->create("data");
$something->create("something");
  1. include_once("class.data.php");
  2. include_once("class.something.php");
  3. //the 'something' class extends the 'data' class.
  4. $something = New Something();
  5. $something->create("data");
  6. $something->create("something");


when running the '$something->create()' method it runs two seperate MySql queries one inserts into the 'data' table and the other into the 'something' table. These queries are automatically created by 'EXPLAIN'ing the table I pass as the paramenter.

I was then trying something as follows:


Code: [ Select ]
include_once("class.data.php");
include_once("class.something.php");
//the 'something' class extends the 'data' class.
$temp = mysql_query("START TRANSACTION");
$something = New Something();
$something->create("data");
$something->create("something");
$temp = mysql_query("ROLLBACK");
  1. include_once("class.data.php");
  2. include_once("class.something.php");
  3. //the 'something' class extends the 'data' class.
  4. $temp = mysql_query("START TRANSACTION");
  5. $something = New Something();
  6. $something->create("data");
  7. $something->create("something");
  8. $temp = mysql_query("ROLLBACK");


but it didn't do anything, both rows still inserted into the database. What exactly is the issue here?

You're using a table type with transactions available, right ?

I'm not sure the mysql_ functions support transactions, I've never tried. Something tells me those functions will basically default to an autocommit functionality. You should be using the mysqli functions when working with transactions.
Strong with this one, the sudo is.

Yeah, the tables all do support transactions. Thanks for the link, that looks very impressive. I think I am going to see how I can implement that.
