PDO::quote
Here is a way of testing that your transaction has started when using MySQL's InnoDB tables. It will fail if you are using MySQL's MyISAM tables, which do not support transactions but will also not return an error when using them.
<?
// Begin the transaction
$dbh->beginTransaction();
// To verify that a transaction has started, try to create an (illegal for InnoDB) nested transaction.
// If it works, the first transaction did not start correctly or is unsupported (such as on MyISAM tables)
try {
$dbh->beginTransaction();
die('Cancelling, Transaction was not properly started');
} catch (PDOException $e) {
print "Transaction is running (because trying another one failed)\n";
}
?>
PDO::rollBack
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PECL pdo >= 0.1.0)
PDO::rollBack — Rolls back a transaction
Beschreibung
bool PDO::rollBack
( void
)
Rolls back the current transaction, as initiated by PDO::beginTransaction(). It is an error to call this method if no transaction is active.
If the database was set to autocommit mode, this function will restore autocommit mode after it has rolled back the transaction.
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.
Rückgabewerte
Gibt bei Erfolg TRUE zurück, im Fehlerfall FALSE.
Beispiele
Beispiel #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 */
?>

Just a quick (and perhaps obvious) note for MySQL users;
Don't scratch your head if it isn't working if you are using a MyISAM table to test the rollbacks with.
Both rollBack() and beginTransaction() will return TRUE but the rollBack will not happen.
Convert the table to InnoDB and run the test again.

Since "It is an error to call this method if no transaction is active", it could be useful (even if not indispensable) to have a method which returns true if a transaction is active.
try {
$dbh->beginTransaction();
...
} catch (PDOException $e) {
if ($dbh->isTransactionActive()) // this function does NOT exist
$dbh->rollBack();
...
}
In the meanwhile, I'm using this code:
...
} catch (PDOException $e) {
try { $dbh->rollBack(); } catch (Exception $e2) {}
...
}
It's not so chic, but it works fine.

<?php
//run this on your latest PHP let me know if it doesn't fail
//to test this program u must run it twice at the same time in ie. two terminals
//this program suposedly creates a new dbase with table name NodeNames and one field in it named NodeName
//it then begins a transaction then attempts to read an element 'zTest' of field 'NodeName' which obv. doesn't exist, ignoring the returned errors
//then it writes it(since it wasn't there)
//then decides to rollBack the transaction and eventually try a new one
//because rollBack doesn't really work(apparently) for some unknown reason, beginTransaction fails saying 'There is already an active transaction'
$db = new PDO('sqlite:demlinks6.3sql',''/*user*/,''/*pwd*/);
$db->exec('CREATE TABLE \'NodeNames\' ("NodeName" VARCHAR(10));');
$db->beginTransaction();
$getter="zTest";
$pgn = $db->prepare('SELECT * FROM \'NodeNames\' WHERE "NodeName" = :node13');
$pgn->bindParam(":node13", $getter, PDO::PARAM_STR);

$db->beginTransaction();//here it fails, when running this program twice at the same time; 'There is already an active transaction'
//unreachable:
