After successfully calling pg_send_query($cnx, $query), pg_transaction_status($cnx) will return PGSQL_TRANSACTION_ACTIVE until the results have been collected by looping over pg_get_result($cnx). This is for any query, not specifically $query="BEGIN". Example: <?php if (pg_send_query($dbcnx, "BEGIN")) { do { $res=pg_get_result($dbcnx); // error processing here } while ($res); echo pg_transaction_status($dbcnx); ?> This will output 2, which corresponds to PGSQL_TRANSACTION_INTRANS as expected. OTOH if commenting the call to pg_get_result($dbcnx), then it ouputs 1 (PGSQL_TRANSACTION_ACTIVE) as you mentioned.
