### Description

bool oci_commit ( resource `$connection` )

Commits all outstanding statements for the active transaction on the Oracle `connection` .

### Parameters

`connection`

  An Oracle connection identifier, returned by oci_connect() or oci_pconnect().

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.

### Examples

Example#1 oci_commit() example

`<?php
// Login to Oracle server
$conn = oci_connect('scott', 'tiger');
// Parse SQL
$stmt = oci_parse($conn, "
INSERT INTO
employees (name, surname)
VALUES
('Maxim', 'Maletsky')
");
/* Execute statement
OCI_DEFAULT tells oci_execute()
not to commit statement immediately */
oci_execute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
/*
....
Parsing and executing other statements here ...
....
*/
// Commit transaction
$committed = oci_commit($conn);
// Test whether commit was successful. If error occurred, return error message
if (!$committed) {
$error = oci_error($conn);
echo 'Commit failed. Oracle reports: ' . $error['message'];
}
?>`

### Notes

> Note: Transactions are automatically rolled back when you close the connection, or when the script ends, whichever is soonest. You need to explicitly call oci_commit() to commit the transaction, or oci_rollback() to abort it.
