odbc_autocommit

If a transaction is started (autocommit disabled) while there is an active result id on the connection, odbc_autocommit will post a warning (Cannot set autocommit). Use odbc_free_result to clear the result id's or start the transaction before you execute the SQL.

If you are using persistent connections (odbc_pconnect rather than odbc_connect) the next script that reuses the connection will inherit your changes to autocommit.

Hi (i'm belgian then sorry for my english).
I think you can do more simple to check the errors :
$conn = odbc_connect($odbc,$user,$password)
 or die($error);
odbc_autocommit($conn, FALSE);
odbc_exec($conn, $query1);
odbc_exec($conn, $query2);
if (!odbc_error())
 odbc_commit($conn);
else
 odbc_rollback($conn);
odbc_close($conn);
I'm not sure it's better to use odbc_error() than 
odbc_error($conn). It seems to be the same result.

It seems that example made by andrea dot galli at acotel dot com works exactly the contrary.
It sets autocommit OFF and NOT ON like it's written inside note!

When used in a odbc_fetch loop your selected resultset is lost and loop ends.

Example: set autocommit on
<?php
 $Link_ID = odbc_connect("DSN", "user", "pass");
 $Return = odbc_autocommit($Link_ID, FALSE);
?>
