Hello,

I'm guessing you are using PEAR DB. Please look at this page to see the
options you can pass when calling the connect() method:

http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db.db-common.setoption.ph
p

As you can see 'AutoCommit' is not one of them. I use PEAR DB a lot
except with the mssql protocol instead of odbc, and it has been my
experience that AutoCommit is set to true by default. If for some reason
it is not, look at this page to change it: 

http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db.db-common.autocommit.p
hp

Using ODBC, you should have no problems accessing a SQL Server 2005 box
from PHP as long as you can run your queries from the command line using
isql.

Chris
