rhodesa Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 MySQLi is the OOP version of MySQL extension. In the end, the accomplish the same thing: extension for interacting with MySQL from PHP. A lot of people still use the original MySQL extension vs the new MySQLi extension because MySQLi requires MySQL 4.1.13+ and PHP 5.0.7+ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/149280-what-is-the-difference-between-mysqli-and-mysql-extenstion/#findComment-783979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 In the end, the accomplish the same thing: extension for interacting with MySQL from PHP. That's not entirely accurate. MySQLi supports some things that the old MySQL extension doesn't. Things like prepared statements, multiple statements, and transactions on top of my head.

Mchl Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Also MySQL native driver (as of PHP 5.3 so not yet) that's said to be much faster than the library used now, proper encoding support, and working persistent connections (again as of PHP 5.3) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/149280-what-is-the-difference-between-mysqli-and-mysql-extenstion/#findComment-784071 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Yeah I'm really looking forward to the 5.3 release. Screw lame hosts that are slow to update. I've got my own server and I'll update immediately after the stable release. This timetable says that it's scheduled for release in Q2. I hope that's true.
