Dear All,
I am trying to apply transaction into my codes. Below is what I have done. It works fine. I would just like to know incase is there something wrong or missing in my way ? Thank you. What is different between mysql and mysqli ?

$rollbackStatus=False;
$link = mysql_connect(dbHost, dbUser, dbPassword);
if(!$link)
{
		die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
}
	
//Select database
$db = mysql_select_db(dbDatabase);
if(!$db) 
{
		die("Unable to select database");
}
mysqli_autocommit($link, FALSE);


$selectQuery1 ="Select clientName From tblClient Where clientName='".$clientName."'"; 
$result1 = mysql_query($selectQuery1);
if ($result1 !== TRUE) 
{
    mysqli_rollback($link);  
    $rollbackStatus=True;
}

$row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1, MYSQL_ASSOC);
$n1 = mysql_num_rows($result1);

	if($n1>0)
	{
	  $status="<span class=\"statusFailed\">: Client ".$clientName." Alread Exist.</span>";
	}
	else
	{
	
	 $insertQuery1 =  "Insert Into tblClient Set ". 
							   	 "clientName='".$clientName."', ".
									 "clientContactPerson='".$clientContactPerson."',".
									 "clientAddress='".$clientAddress."',".
									 "clientContactNumber='".$clientContactNumber."',".
									 "clientStatus='a'";
           $result2 = mysql_query($insertQuery1,$link);					 
	   if ($result2 !== TRUE) 
	   {
	    $status="<span class=\"statusFailed\">: Error adding adding Client:" . mysql_error() . "</span>";
	    
	    mysqli_rollback($link);  
	    $rollbackStatus=True;
	   } 
	   else
	   {
	    $status="<span class=\"statusOk\">: Client ".$clientName." Added Succesfully.</span>";
			
	   }
		 
	}
if($rollbackStatus=="False")
{
	 mysqli_commit($link);

}
mysqli_close($link);
}

mysqli = mysql improved. mysqli is an object and is faster. Both use same SQL syntax. Heard mysql may be dropped/deprecated in php6 - don't know if this is true.

I don't know why you're mixing both here though. Just use mysqli.

Dear Ardav,
I tried mysqli_select_db but it say unknown database. So what else I much changed? Should I used the normal mysql or mysqli? Which you advice? How about the transaction am I doing it correctly?

Member Avatar for diafol

you need to use the connection as a parameter. see the manual OR use it in the connection string

$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "test");

(from the manual)

where test is the DB

Dear Ardav,
Thank you. So I guess the rest like mysql_query mysql_fetch_array,mysql_error etc should all be changed right? So how about the transaction flow is it correctly done?

I think parameter place in mysql and mysqli is interchanged. so you need to modify everywhere only adding 'i' is not sufficient.

Dear Urtrivedi,
I am confuse you said is interchange then you said I need to modify every where? Everything to modify I dont think so my queries need modification too right?

not need to change query, just way of passing parameter is to be changed. Check manual of function before changing any code

mysqli_select(link,query)
mysql_select(query,link)

..he he he urti, I understood you :)

Tends to make sense when you RTFM anyway.

Dear All,
I have done like below. The problem now I get error 'Failed to connect to server: ' but it never print the error itself. The dbHost,dbUser,dbPassword,dbDatabase I have define in an external config file.

$link = mysqli_connect(dbHost, dbUser, dbPassword, dbDatabase);


if(!$link)
{
		die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysqli_error());
}
	
mysqli_autocommit($link, FALSE);

Dear All,
I have replace everthing will real values like this $link = mysqli_connect("localhost:3306", "*****", "*******", "****"); even then is nothing blank page and even I put :3306 it shows me the fail error.

Dear All,
It works fine now. Can you check anything else I have not coverted to mysqli.

$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", dbUser, dbPassword, dbDatabase); 

if (!$link) {
    die('Connect Error (' . mysqli_connect_errno() . ') '
            . mysqli_connect_error());
}

mysqli_autocommit($link, FALSE);

$selectQuery1 ="Select clientName From tblClient Where clientName='".$clientName."'"; 
$result1 = mysqli_query($link,$selectQuery1);
if ($result1 !== TRUE) 
{
    mysqli_rollback($link);  
    $rollbackStatus=True;
}

$row1 = mysqli_fetch_array($result1, MYSQL_ASSOC);
$n1 = mysqli_num_rows($result1);

	if($n1>0)
	{
		$status="<span class=\"statusFailed\">: Client ".$clientName." Alread Exist.</span>";
	}
	else
	{
	
	   $insertQuery1 =  "Insert Into tblClient Set ". 
							   	 "clientName='".$clientName."', ".
									 "clientContactPerson='".$clientContactPerson."',".
									 "clientAddress='".$clientAddress."',".
									 "clientContactNumberss='".$clientContactNumber."',".
									 "clientStatus='a'";
		 $result2 = mysqli_query($link,$insertQuery1);					 
	   if ($result2 !== TRUE) 
	   {
	    $status="<span class=\"statusFailed\">: Error adding adding Client:" . mysqli_error($link) . "</span>";
	    
	    mysqli_rollback($link);  
	    $rollbackStatus=True;
	   } 
	   else
	   {
			$status="<span class=\"statusOk\">: Client ".$clientName." Added Succesfully.</span>";
			$clientID="";
		  		 }		 
	} 

if($rollbackStatus=="False")
{
	 mysqli_commit($link);

}
mysqli_close($link);

Good. Use your text editor or IDE to search for 'mysql_'. It'll save you and us having to search by hand (or eye!) :)

Dear Ardav,
In the event I got an error with my query. Do you think I am putting all this in the right posistion or should I put it in else part? How about my overall transaction codes is it ok and is the correct flow?

$selectQuery1 ="Select clientName From tblClient Where clientName='".$clientName."'"; 
$result1 = mysqli_query($link,$selectQuery1);
if ($result1 !== TRUE) 
{
    mysqli_rollback($link);  
    $rollbackStatus=True;
}

$row1 = mysqli_fetch_array($result1, MYSQL_ASSOC);
$n1 = mysqli_num_rows($result1);

Dear Ardav,
I got another question here why when I run this echo "Result1 :".$result1; my whole page goes blank I know according to the manual it says it return object so how to check it was success or not?

$selectQuery1 ="Select clientName From tblClient Where clientName='".$clientName."'"; 
$result1 = mysqli_query($link,$selectQuery1);
echo "Result1 :".$result1;
if ($result1 !== TRUE) 
{
    mysqli_rollback($link);  
    $rollbackStatus=True;
}

$row1 = mysqli_fetch_array($result1, MYSQL_ASSOC);
$n1 = mysqli_num_rows($result1);
Member Avatar for diafol
$selectQuery1 ="Select clientName From tblClient Where clientName='".$clientName."'"; 
$result1 = mysqli_query($link,$selectQuery1);
if(mysqli_num_rows($result1)>0){
    mysqli_rollback($link);  
    $rollbackStatus=True;
    $row1 = mysqli_fetch_array($result1, MYSQL_ASSOC);
}else{
//echo out a message
}

I think.

You can't echo out an object. It contains data that you have to access in order to echo out. The usual method for this would be with a loop and mysqli_fetch_array. Although with mysqli you can just use mysqli_fetch_all(). Check the php.net manual.

Dear Ardav,
I just want to check whether the select was sucessfully queries even without any records if fine.

Member Avatar for diafol

should be fine. if($result1)

Dear Ardav,
Thank you. So actually what will give output when I do this if($result1)? Just a true value is it?

Member Avatar for diafol

think so.
