However, I can’t confirm because I can’t get LOCKs to work. For example, when I am using two different scripts to edit the exact same table, I see no changes in their respective session IDs when a LOCK is implemented. But then again my LOCKs don’t work. Additionally, Transactions may provide a implicit LOCK, but the BEGIN without a COMMIT/ROLLBACK does not LOCK the table. But then again my LOCKs don’t work. Do you see what I mean? It would be nice if someone could show me a “simple” example of LOCKs working that I could review (i.e., copy). You further state: > I'd encourage you to test the functionality you're expecting from a MySQL prompt instead of another language to confirm if you're operating with the correct queries or if the problem lays in the interface layer. While I understand what you are advising, my problem is having PHP do this. I really don’t care if it can be done via a MYSQL prompt because that is not my medium. The only thing that a MYSQL prompt could do, is show me it can’t be done in PHP. Either PHP can connect to a database and send queries or it can not. I believe the former.
