PDO::rollBack
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PHP 7, PECL pdo >= 0.1.0)
PDO::rollBack — Rolls back a transaction
Description
public PDO::rollBack ( ) : bool
Rolls back the current transaction, as initiated by PDO::beginTransaction().
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.
Return Values
Returns true on success or false on failure.
Errors/Exceptions
Throws a PDOException if there is no active transaction.
Note: An exception is raised even when the
PDO::ATTR_ERRMODEattribute is notPDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION.
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 */
