PHP, MySQL, PDO Transactions - Does the code inside try block stop at commit()?

Question

I\'m pretty new to transactions.

Before, what I was doing was something like:

Code Block 1

$db = new PDO(...);

$stmt = $db->prepare(         


        

Answer 1

The execution is stopped when an exception is thrown.

The first return will not be reached but the catch statement will be executed.

You can even return the commit directly:

$dbh->beginTransaction();
try {
    // insert/update query
    return $dbh->commit();
} catch (PDOException $e) {
     $dbh->rollBack();
     return false;
}
