Correct. If you echo out EVERY connection/result/resource, you will see that PHP pretty much just starts counting at 1 at the beginning of a script and increments the resource counter on each resource. Change the script to, say, connect to some other database at the top, and everything will be "off" by 1 from the previous user. > BEGIN TRAN (user a) > BEGIN TRAN (user b) > Query (user b) > Query (user a) > ROLLBACK (user b) > COMMIT (user a) > > with User B rolling back User A's transaction and User A committing > User > B's > transaction (or no transaction at all). Hmmmmm. Take out the _pconnect. Or switch to MySQL or PostgreSQL maybe for a test, just to see if their transactions exhibit the same behaviour. SQL Server is the least-broken Microsoft product... You could also try using the Sybase drivers to connect to MS SQL. Last I heard, they were faster anyway. Though it's been years since anybody has had enough money to get me to use an MS product. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
