well i've read about this thing called persistent connection,
i think it is supposed to exist in mysql also. the idea sound like
what i want. i've tried it but i didn't get any different results. but
then i'm not convinced i did it right either.

if psgres works as mysql.... you should be able to do it...
but the issue appears to be that the connection you establish with the
db in
one page, is not available once you shut the page down.
within mysql, there appears to be a mysqli group of functions that are
setup
to accommodate transactions across multiple pages... i would
imagine/hope
that the same sort of functionality is available for posgres....
i'm getting close to needing the same functionality with mysql, and i'm
betting/hoping like hell that what i've just described is how mysql/php
works...

Subject: Re: [0.2] [PHP] getting transactions to work
this is meant in all honesty,
then whats the point?!
ok, let me put it this way. is there no way to implement pages using
transactions?
otherwise it seems to kind of defeat the purpose of them.

You are correct. You cannot have a transaction span multiple

there seems to be very little info around on actually using
transactions with postgres. i've tried to create a page that will
take input from a form and insert it into my database. it works if i
just do it without transactions but when i try to use with the begin
and commit sections of code, it doesn't update the data base. i'm
guessing it is doing a rollback when my page loads itself again. can
anyone help me out here ?
thanks
