random1 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I'm currently using mysqli in my PHP database class however I'm looking to change it to use PDO (included in PHP). Is PDO stable enough and faster than mysqli? Is it better practice to use PDO since it supports a variety of databases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkyIS Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 As a LAMP Developer, I don't care about other databases except in cases where I need to (permanently) convert from something else to MySQL. So I only use MySQL functions. my 2 pennies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zurev Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I personally would be completely fine with MySQLi - I would only really go through the effort of using PDO if I were making something I wanted to be extremely portable across many database engines.
