A few ideas occur to me. You don't have enough information about
your schema for me to say for sure which of these would be best.
1 - put all the inserts into one statement:
$myQuery = INSERT INTO purchaseItems (orderID, itemIDs,
itemQty) VALUES (;
$i = 1;
foreach ($order as $item)
{
$valueLine[$i] = ( . $item['orderID'] . , . $item
['itemIDs'] . , . $item['itemQty'] . );
$i = $i +1;
}
$myQuery = join($valueLine, ,) . );
then execute $myQuery as one statement.
2 - Why `DELETE FROM purchaseItems WHERE orderID = '789' ` why not:
DELETE FROM purchaseItems WHERE orderID = '789' and itemIDs =
whatever
Good Luck,
Frank

Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] multiple queries, one transaction - REWORDED
I have a scenario where I have multiple inserts into a table and
need to
know that ALL inserts were successful and if not that there were no
inserts.
I've seen an article on transactions in php/mysql and have a few
questions.
I have a table with orderID, itemIDs and itemQty
Someone with an orderID of 789 may want to purchase itemID 1 and
itemID
2 and item 3. At purchase I give the customer a final shot of changing
his mind. (While shopping he puts the items into a session variables,
now that he's in the process of purchasing its in a database.)
Say he want to remove itemID 1.
The solution I've been using is to
DELETE FROM purchaseItems
WHERE orderID = '789'
Now I have to reinsert.
LOOP
INSERT INTO purchaseItems
...
/LOOP
These multiple queries (DELETE and INSERTS) should be considered one
transaction so that if one query fails, they all do.
Thx, mayo
