Description:
------------
I'm connecting from a Linux/Apache/PHP server to a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database using PDO with the DBLIB driver. Attempting to use transactions produces the exception 'This driver doesn't support transactions'.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$dsn = 'dblib:host=' . $server . ';dbname=' . $dbName;
$user = 'tempUser';
$pwd = 'tmpPwd';
$table = 'sqlTable';
$column = 'colName';
$value = 'value';

$sql = 'Insert Into ' . $dbName;
$sql .= ' (' . $column . ')';
$sql .= ' Values ' . $value;

$conn = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pwd);
$conn->beginTransaction();
$conn->exec($sql);
$conn->commit();

Expected result:
----------------
The value should be inserted into the table.

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'This driver doesn't support transactions' in /var/www/html/business/entity.php:37 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/business/entity.php(37): PDO->beginTransaction() #1 {main} thrown in /var/www/html/business/entity.php on line 37

What is the timeline for this getting into an official 5.3 release?  

I have manually patched my version and can confirm it works on Mac OS X 10.6.6 running PHP 5.3.3. (though compiled PDO_DBLIB with this patch from the 5.3.5 release)
 [2011-04-30 17:48 UTC] ssufficool@php.net 
The whole of the PDO DBLIB needs to me moved to a release. There are many fixes and features as well as new tests. I have lobbied for these changes several times, now it is up to the release manager.
 [2011-04-30 20:32 UTC] pajoye@php.net 
I don't see why you could do releases via PECL as well. That will free you from 
the slower PHP release cycles.
 [2011-04-30 21:04 UTC] ssufficool@php.net 
I do not see a practical way to PECL this because PDO is already core to PHP and marked depreciated in PECL.
 [2011-04-30 21:19 UTC] pajoye@php.net 
It is marked as such because nobody cares about it. And before you came in, it 
should have marked as such in core as well.

Anyway, I do it for zip, enchant and planing to do so for more extensions as well. 
This is a very good way to provide more frequent releases to our users and 
especially to the distros.
 [2011-05-07 19:11 UTC] ssufficool@php.net 
No developer cares about it, but plenty of users have and do care. 

I don't use PHP much anymore, but that may change. When it does, I will consider maintaining this in two different places. Until then, the patches are here and the currently working and tested module resides in svn trunk.

Patch should be added to 5.3 branch
 [2012-03-10 09:02 UTC] programmer at finner dot de 
Why is this bug closed? The error still persists! I use PHP 5.3.10, and would 
really need to have transactions, and cannot use another database engine. So, 
PLEASE!!!, fix this!
Thanks in advance.

After trying PHP 5.4 (which is not yet recommended for production purposes on 
Debian), I found out, that this bug is obviously fixed, but the fix is not 
mentioned in the changelogs.
 [2013-05-28 17:53 UTC] mneyman at yesco dot com 
Yes, this bug is fixed in 5.4, but because of this bug: 
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64522, I am unable to upgrade.  Ideally, 64522 
gets fixed, but if not, it'd be great to have in a 5.3 branch as well.
