Description:
------------
PHP 8.0.0RC5 (cli) (built: Nov 19 2020 19:38:09) ( NTS )
MariaDB Version: 10.5.6-MariaDB-1:10.5.6+maria~focal

When executing a PDO statement, inTransaction() returns false afterwards.

This was not the case in PHP7.4 and before. Once I tested our application on PHP8.0RC5 I encountered this issue.

I am using ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES as we have other issues when this is turned off.
In our application, we do have nested transactions due to Laravel
s testing framework, so this issue may be related to this.

Test script:
---------------
// SQL Query grabbed from mysql.general_log that is executed by both 7.4 and 8.0RC5
CALL myProcedure('2')

// Prepare
$pdo->setAttribute(\PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, true);
$stmt = $pdo->prepare('CALL myProcedure(?);', [\PDO::ATTR_CURSOR => \PDO::CURSOR_SCROLL]);
$stmt->bindValue(1, '2');


// 7.4
dump($pdo->inTransaction()); // true
$exec = $stmt->execute();
dump($pdo->inTransaction()); // true

// 8.0RC5
dump($pdo->inTransaction()); // true
$exec = $stmt->execute();
dump($pdo->inTransaction()); // false

Expected result:
----------------
true
true

Actual result:
--------------
true
false

Well, my spidey sense is tingling.

That sounds a whole lot like you are dependent on some edge-case condition if using ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES makes it 'work'.

If you want someone to look at this, please can you spend the effort to extract a reproduce case? I highly doubt anyone is going to be able to investigate this issue, even if they wanted to, without that as no-one would even know where to start looking.

Of course! I will need some time to strip this down to a reproduceable piece, once I have it I will report back here.

The behavior of inTransaction() changed in PHP 8. Now it is reporting the actual transaction state, rather than what PDO thinks the transaction state is.

If you are executing a query that implicitly commits the transaction (see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/implicit-commit.html), then inTransaction() will now indeed return false after the query.

Hello Nikic,

Thanks for your reply, you are 100% correct, the statement contained some cases where an implicit commit was done. I will close the bug report now.
