currently, i've just finished learning mysql_* however i'm aware this is deprecated and hence unwise to use for starting new projects. i'm wondering which is easier to learn and better to use (note: i dont intend to switch database systems)? thanks |

PDO - even if you don't intend to switch the DBMS it'll come in handy for future projects when you don't have to care about underlying DBMS...
/EDIT: yet, if you will always use MySQL, then use mysqli (because you don't want to run into the trap of providers not having PDO installed)
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Just contacted them to confirm, they don't support PDO but they do support mysqli so thanks for the edited bit. Seeing as I have already purchased a hosting plan from them weeks back, I'm left with no choice lol. |
