And one more question. I\'ve alr

Answer 1

I had this, but not sure if this is correct. Could try this out also.

mysql_query("START TRANSACTION");
$flag = true;
$query = "INSERT INTO testing (myid) VALUES ('test')";

$query2 = "INSERT INTO testing2 (myid2) VALUES ('test2')";

$result = mysql_query($query) or trigger_error(mysql_error(), E_USER_ERROR);
if (!$result) {
$flag = false;
}

$result = mysql_query($query2) or trigger_error(mysql_error(), E_USER_ERROR);
if (!$result) {
$flag = false;
}

if ($flag) {
mysql_query("COMMIT");
} else {        
mysql_query("ROLLBACK");
}
