| What's the difference between mysqli vs mysql functions? I'm just wondering on what's the difference between these two? Why do you want to use one over the other? or When to use one over the other...? I checked the manual and didn't really get anything out of it other than installation stuff..  thx__________________ PHP Code:           |

| It has some features for transactions (PHP: mysqli_rollback - Manual , PHP: mysqli_commit - Manual ), executing multiple queries ( PHP: mysqli_multi_query - Manual ), and stored procedures ( PHP: mysqli_stmt_prepare - Manual ). That's not a comprehensive list, just a beginning guide. I also noticed someone mentioning MySQL AB :: MySQL native driver for PHP - mysqlnd in the notes, but am not sure about what's going on there or the degree of availability. Additionally, you can find a summary with relevant links at MySQL AB :: MySQL 3.23, 4.0, 4.1 Reference Manual :: 17.3 MySQL PHP API , one of those links being ext/mysqli: Part I - Overview and Prepared Statements which I think you'll like. |

| Would you recommend we use this over the other? __________________  Great looking text - by just typing into a box you can create great looking text for your msn names, myspace, bebo, netlog, facebook and more |

| If you have PHP 5 on your server, yes. You should study the concepts that it now covers and use them. I admit to not having enough time myself to do this, but this is where it's moving, so to stay with the times, you should begin using it. Also, the algorithms it employs are a bit smarter, so it will increase program efficiency. |
