The PHP mysqli_rollback() function rolls the current transaction to the last save point or the specified save point.

Return Value

PHP Version
This PHP function was first introduced in PHP version 5 and works in all the later versions.
Example1
The following example shows the usage of the built-in mysqli_rollback() function (in a procedural style) -
<?php //Creating a connection $con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "password", "mydb"); //Setting auto commit to false mysqli_autocommit($con, False); mysqli_query($con, "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS my_team(ID INT, First_Name VARCHAR(255), Last_Name VARCHAR(255), Place_Of_Birth VARCHAR(255), Country VARCHAR(255))"); //Inserting a records into the my_team table mysqli_query($con, "insert into my_team values(1, 'Kennedy', 'Nkpara', 'PortHarcourt', 'Nigeria')"); mysqli_query($con, "insert into my_team values(2, 'Jonathan', 'Trott', 'CapeTown', 'SouthAfrica')"); mysqli_query($con, "insert into my_team values(3, 'Queen', 'Dauglas', 'Texas', 'UnitedStates')"); mysqli_query($con, "insert into my_team values(4, 'Paul', 'Francis', 'Texas', 'UnitedStates')"); $res = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM my_team"); print("No.of rows (at the time of commit): ".mysqli_affected_rows($con)."\n"); //Saving the changes mysqli_commit($con); //Truncating the table mysqli_query($con, "DELETE FROM my_team where id in(3,4)"); $res = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM my_team"); print("No.of rows (before roll back): ".mysqli_affected_rows($con)."\n"); //Roll back mysqli_rollback($con); //Contents of the table $res = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM my_team"); print("No.of rows (after roll back): ".mysqli_affected_rows($con)); //Closing the connection mysqli_close($con); ?>
Output
When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -
No.of rows (at the time of commit): 4 No.of rows (before roll back): 2 No.of rows (after roll back): 4
Example2
In object oriented style the syntax of this built-in PHP function is $con->rollback(); Following is the example of this function in an object oriented style $minus;
//Creating a connection $con = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "password", "mydb"); //Setting auto commit to false $con->autocommit(FALSE); //Inserting a records into the players table $con->query("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS players(First_Name VARCHAR(255), Last_Name VARCHAR(255), Country VARCHAR(255))"); $con->query("insert into players values('Kennedy', 'Nkpara', 'Nigeria')"); $con->query("insert into players values('Jonathan', 'Trott', 'SouthAfrica')"); //Saving the results $con->commit(); $con->query( "insert into players values('Queen', 'Dauglas', 'UnitedStates')"); $con->query( "insert into players values('Bethel', 'Igwela', 'Nigeria')"); //Roll back $con->rollback(); $res = $con->query("SELECT * FROM players"); print_r($res); //Closing the connection $res = $con -> close(); ?>
Output
When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -
mysqli_result Object ( [current_field] => 0 [field_count] => 3 [lengths] => [num_rows] => 2 [type] => 0 )
Example3
Try the following example below -
<?php $connection = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "password", "mydb"); if (mysqli_connect_errno($connection)){ echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error(); } mysqli_autocommit($connection,FALSE); mysqli_query($connection, "create table test(Name VARCHAR(255), Age INT)"); mysqli_query($connection, "INSERT INTO test VALUES ('Precious', 25)"); mysqli_commit($connection); mysqli_query($connection, "INSERT INTO test VALUES ('Stephanie', 24)"); mysqli_rollback($connection); mysqli_close($connection); ?>
Output
When the above code is executed, if you verify the contents of the table test, you can see the inserted records as shown below -
mysql> select * from test; +---------+------+ | Name | Age | +---------+------+ | Precious| 25 | +---------+------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
