Transaction represents a DB transaction.

It is usually created by calling yii\db\Connection::beginTransaction().

The following code is a typical example of using transactions (note that some DBMS may not support transactions):

$transaction = $connection->beginTransaction();
try {
    $connection->createCommand($sql1)->execute();
    $connection->createCommand($sql2)->execute();
    //.... other SQL executions
    $transaction->commit();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    $transaction->rollBack();
    throw $e;
} catch (\Throwable $e) {
    $transaction->rollBack();
    throw $e;
}

Note: in the above code we have two catch-blocks for compatibility with PHP 5.x and PHP 7.x. \Exception implements the \Throwable interface since PHP 7.0, so you can skip the part with \Exception if your app uses only PHP 7.0 and higher.

__call() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__call()

Calls the named method which is not a class method.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when an unknown method is being invoked.

public mixed __call ( $name, $params )
$name string

The method name
$params array

Method parameters
return mixed

The method return value
throws yii\base\UnknownMethodException

when calling unknown method

 

                public function __call($name, $params)
{
    throw new UnknownMethodException('Calling unknown method: ' . get_class($this) . "::$name()");
}
__construct() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__construct()

Constructor.

The default implementation does two things:

  • Initializes the object with the given configuration $config.
  • Call init().

If this method is overridden in a child class, it is recommended that

  • the last parameter of the constructor is a configuration array, like $config here.
  • call the parent implementation at the end of the constructor.
public void __construct ( $config = [] )
$config array

Name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties

 

                public function __construct($config = [])
{
    if (!empty($config)) {
        Yii::configure($this, $config);
    }
    $this->init();
}
__get() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__get()

Returns the value of an object property.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $value = $object->property;.

See also __set().

public mixed __get ( $name )
$name string

The property name
return mixed

The property value
throws yii\base\UnknownPropertyException

if the property is not defined
throws yii\base\InvalidCallException

if the property is write-only

 

                public function __get($name)
{
    $getter = 'get' . $name;
    if (method_exists($this, $getter)) {
        return $this->$getter();
    } elseif (method_exists($this, 'set' . $name)) {
        throw new InvalidCallException('Getting write-only property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
    }
    throw new UnknownPropertyException('Getting unknown property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
}
__isset() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__isset()

Checks if a property is set, i.e. defined and not null.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing isset($object->property).

Note that if the property is not defined, false will be returned.

See also https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.isset.php.

public boolean __isset ( $name )
$name string

The property name or the event name
return boolean

Whether the named property is set (not null).

 

                public function __isset($name)
{
    $getter = 'get' . $name;
    if (method_exists($this, $getter)) {
        return $this->$getter() !== null;
    }
    return false;
}
__set() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__set()

Sets value of an object property.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $object->property = $value;.

See also __get().

public void __set ( $name, $value )
$name string

The property name or the event name
$value mixed

The property value
throws yii\base\UnknownPropertyException

if the property is not defined
throws yii\base\InvalidCallException

if the property is read-only

 

                public function __set($name, $value)
{
    $setter = 'set' . $name;
    if (method_exists($this, $setter)) {
        $this->$setter($value);
    } elseif (method_exists($this, 'get' . $name)) {
        throw new InvalidCallException('Setting read-only property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
    } else {
        throw new UnknownPropertyException('Setting unknown property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
    }
}
__unset() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__unset()

Sets an object property to null.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing unset($object->property).

Note that if the property is not defined, this method will do nothing. If the property is read-only, it will throw an exception.

See also https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unset.php.

public void __unset ( $name )
$name string

The property name
throws yii\base\InvalidCallException

if the property is read only.

 

                public function __unset($name)
{
    $setter = 'set' . $name;
    if (method_exists($this, $setter)) {
        $this->$setter(null);
    } elseif (method_exists($this, 'get' . $name)) {
        throw new InvalidCallException('Unsetting read-only property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
    }
}
begin() public method

Begins a transaction.

public void begin ( $isolationLevel = null )
$isolationLevel string|null

The isolation level to use for this transaction. This can be one of READ_UNCOMMITTED, READ_COMMITTED, REPEATABLE_READ and SERIALIZABLE but also a string containing DBMS specific syntax to be used after SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL. If not specified (null) the isolation level will not be set explicitly and the DBMS default will be used.

Note: This setting does not work for PostgreSQL, where setting the isolation level before the transaction has no effect. You have to call setIsolationLevel() in this case after the transaction has started.

Note: Some DBMS allow setting of the isolation level only for the whole connection so subsequent transactions may get the same isolation level even if you did not specify any. When using this feature you may need to set the isolation level for all transactions explicitly to avoid conflicting settings. At the time of this writing affected DBMS are MSSQL and SQLite.

Starting from version 2.0.16, this method throws exception when beginning nested transaction and underlying DBMS does not support savepoints.
throws yii\base\InvalidConfigException

if $db is null
throws yii\base\NotSupportedException

if the DBMS does not support nested transactions
throws yii\db\Exception

if DB connection fails

 

                public function begin($isolationLevel = null)
{
    if ($this->db === null) {
        throw new InvalidConfigException('Transaction::db must be set.');
    }
    $this->db->open();
    if ($this->_level === 0) {
        if ($isolationLevel !== null) {
            $this->db->getSchema()->setTransactionIsolationLevel($isolationLevel);
        }
        Yii::debug('Begin transaction' . ($isolationLevel ? ' with isolation level ' . $isolationLevel : ''), __METHOD__);
        $this->db->trigger(Connection::EVENT_BEGIN_TRANSACTION);
        $this->db->pdo->beginTransaction();
        $this->_level = 1;
        return;
    }
    $schema = $this->db->getSchema();
    if ($schema->supportsSavepoint()) {
        Yii::debug('Set savepoint ' . $this->_level, __METHOD__);
        // make sure the transaction wasn't autocommitted
        if ($this->db->pdo->inTransaction()) {
            $schema->createSavepoint('LEVEL' . $this->_level);
        }
    } else {
        Yii::info('Transaction not started: nested transaction not supported', __METHOD__);
        throw new NotSupportedException('Transaction not started: nested transaction not supported.');
    }
    $this->_level++;
}
canGetProperty() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::canGetProperty()

}
canSetProperty() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::canSetProperty()

        // but the event handler to "commitTransaction" throw an exception
        return;
    }
    $this->_level--;
    if ($this->_level === 0) {
        Yii::debug('Roll back transaction', __METHOD__);

    } else {
        Yii::info('Transaction not rolled back: nested transaction not supported', __METHOD__);
    }
}
setIsolationLevel() public method

Sets the transaction isolation level for this transaction.

This method can be used to set the isolation level while the transaction is already active. However this is not supported by all DBMS so you might rather specify the isolation level directly when calling begin().

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_(database_systems)#Isolation_levels.

public void setIsolationLevel ( $level )
$level string

The transaction isolation level to use for this transaction. This can be one of READ_UNCOMMITTED, READ_COMMITTED, REPEATABLE_READ and SERIALIZABLE but also a string containing DBMS specific syntax to be used after SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL.
throws yii\db\Exception

if the transaction is not active

 

                public function setIsolationLevel($level)
{
    if (!$this->getIsActive()) {
        throw new Exception('Failed to set isolation level: transaction was inactive.');
    }
