I was wondering how to use a MySQL BEGIN/COMMIT with a PDO. I've read that it's best to create a query that either inserts all data or none at all to provide 'consistency' in the database Here's my code
$query = $db -> prepare
("
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO chat (chat_id,msg,datetime)
VALUES (:cid,:msg,:datetime)
INSERT INTO chat_connect (chat_id,sender_id,receiver_id)
VALUES (:cid2,:sender_id,:receiver_id);
COMMIT;
");
$query -> execute(array(
"cid" => $cid,
"msg" => $msg,
"datetime" => $datetime,
"sender_id" => $getid,
"receiver_id" => $frid,
"cid2" => $cid
));
