Description:
------------
Using PHP 5.1.4 to connect to a postgresql 8.1.4 database, native prepared statements.

When allocating a prepared statement and then trying to unset it, PDO attemps to deallocate it even if it never been used (eg. when running a query against an empty set).

PDO does not throw an exception in such case, but an error such as:
ERROR:  prepared statement "pdo_pgsql_stmt_085b2f2c" does not exist

Appers in the server log.

When running inside a transaction, such error aborts it.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$pdo->beginTransaction();

$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT 'never executed'");
unset($stmt);

$res = $pdo->query('SELECT 123');


Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[25P02]: In failed sql transaction: 7 ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block' in XXX:13
Stack trace:
#0 XXX: PDO->query('SELECT 123')

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip

Appears to work fine (at least for me) in latest CVS.

Transaction failing quietly for no reason is a pretty nasty bug. We have just spent several hours troubleshooting this problem, and I can confirm that the bug is 100% on target. If a prepared transaction is never executed, the transaction will quietly fail.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

I am experiencing the exact same problem: PDO deallocating a prepared statement that is never called causes PostgreSQL error but PDO does not capture either the deallocation error nor the transaction commit error so it causes a silent fail. This is in PHP 5.6.31 on CentOS. Curiously I do not experience this problem with 5.6.32 on MAMP/Mac OS X.
