This function is implemented in C, so there's no way to mimic it in SQL for older versions of PHP. But you can mimic some of the functionality by using a wrapper which keeps track of when you begin and commit/rollback transactions.
pg_transaction_status
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0)
pg_transaction_status — Returns the current in-transaction status of the server.
Description
$connection
)Returns the current in-transaction status of the server.
pg_transaction_status() will give incorrect results when using a PostgreSQL 7.3 server that has the parameter autocommit set to off. The server-side autocommit feature has been deprecated and does not exist in later server versions.
Parameters
-
connection -
PostgreSQL database connection resource.
Return Values
The status can be PGSQL_TRANSACTION_IDLE (currently idle),
PGSQL_TRANSACTION_ACTIVE (a command is in progress),
PGSQL_TRANSACTION_INTRANS (idle, in a valid transaction block),
or PGSQL_TRANSACTION_INERROR (idle, in a failed transaction block).
PGSQL_TRANSACTION_UNKNOWN is reported if the connection is bad.
PGSQL_TRANSACTION_ACTIVE is reported only when a query
has been sent to the server and not yet completed.
Examples
Example #1 pg_transaction_status() example

$stat = pg_transaction_status($dbconn);
if ($stat === PGSQL_TRANSACTION_UNKNOWN) {
echo 'Connection is bad';
} else if ($stat === PGSQL_TRANSACTION_IDLE) {
echo 'Connection is currently idle';
} else {
echo 'Connection is in a transaction state';
}
?>
Exact values of constants:
PGSQL_TRANSACTION_IDLE = 0
PGSQL_TRANSACTION_ACTIVE = 1
PGSQL_TRANSACTION_INTRANS = 2
PGSQL_TRANSACTION_INERROR = 3
