Thread: Application Transaction Question... Postgres 8.3.6 - PHP 5 - Solaris 10

Hello,

I am creating an application in PHP that accesses a Postgres
database.  This application works, but I have been unable to perform a
database task that is extremely important.  My application is a admin
app that allows a user to insert records into several tables in a
database.  The basic model is to put a record into two base tables
then join the tables with a bridge table.  Obviously, this needs to
run the queries as one transaction.  I have been unable to find a way
to make this work.  I'm using the pg_query_params function to insert
the records.  I tried using pg_query and issuing the begin and commit
in separate queries, but that doesn't work.  Can someone tell me how
to do this.

Thanks,
Carol

Please show us some code and the error(s) you get ("...but that doesn't
work" is not enough).

On the other hand your question is more appropriate for the pgsql-php
mailing list.
