implementing PDO and Transactions in PHP 8.2 When Using MySQL with InnoDB
I'm stuck trying to I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help. I'm experimenting with I'm building a feature where I'm having trouble with transactions in my PHP 8.2 application when using PDO with MySQL configured to use the InnoDB storage engine. I begin a transaction, execute multiple statements, and then commit, but sometimes it seems like the changes are not being saved, and I receive an behavior message: `PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General behavior: 1364 Field 'my_column' doesn't have a default value`. This occurs when I try to insert a new record without specifying all required fields. It seems to only happen when I have dropped and recreated the table with new columns. Here’s a snippet of my code: ```php try { $pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=my_db', 'user', 'password'); $pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); $pdo->beginTransaction(); $stmt1 = $pdo->prepare('INSERT INTO my_table (my_column) VALUES (:value)'); $stmt1->execute([':value' => null]); $pdo->commit(); } catch (PDOException $e) { $pdo->rollBack(); echo 'behavior: ' . $e->getMessage(); } ``` I’ve confirmed that `my_column` does not have a default value set and should accept `NULL`, yet the behavior continues. I've tried explicitly setting `my_column` to `NULL` in the prepared statement, but that doesn’t seem to resolve the scenario. Could it be a configuration question with MySQL or a misunderstanding of how transactions are handled in PDO? Any insights or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated! For context: I'm using Php on macOS. What am I doing wrong? Could this be a known issue? My team is using Php for this REST API. What's the best practice here? Thanks for your help in advance!
