I'm trying to do something like this in the PHP application:

begin transaction
execute a stored procedure, receiving an identity back
if certain conditions are met
    execute another stored procedure, getting an identity
if certain other conditions are met
    execute another stored procedure, getting an identity
if any of the above procedures fail
    rollback transaction
else
    commit transaction

I ran into some problems using both PDO and the mssql_* functions (if
someone is successful using one of these, I'll likely be asking in a
future message for help with the problems I'm encountering).

You have to describe your problems to get useful help.

True. In this message, I was looking for people who had done what I was attempting in order to solicit advice. But recognizing that I may not find anybody, I guess I should try to find some help with the specific problems.

With PDO, I use the dblib driver (which is the driver that all of the documentation I can find says to use). Unfortunately, the dblib driver does not support transactions; I've filed an enhancement request.

With the mssql functions, the first problem was that the "bigint" data type is not supported. I coded around that (by using "varchar" and converting it in the stored procedure), but now I get:

Warning: mssql_query() [function.mssql-query]: Query failed in /var/www/html/business/entity.php on line 127

which is:
mssql_query('RollBack Transaction');

but can't get any information about why it failed. Running the same commands in Query Analyzer works without error.

I'm just asking to see if anyone is successfully doing what I'm trying
to do, and if so, what method is being used to accomplish it.

The probability that *nobody* from the millions of PHP users and the
millions of MS SQL users is doing this is pretty much 0.

Agreed. I just need to somehow find the successful one(s) :-)

Thanks,
Rick
