MySQLi is not really 'improved'. There are many forums and online testing debating weather it is actually improved since there isn't a page speed difference. Yet if there is it's only by something like 0.000000000000001 seconds. You should look into PDO, it's easier to use and much faster. That's why a lot of people on here have a fetish towards it.

Source: http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.overview.phpThe mysqli extension, or as it is sometimes known, the MySQL improved extension, was developed to take advantage of new features found in MySQL systems versions 4.1.3 and newer. The mysqli extension is included with PHP versions 5 and later.The mysqli extension has a number of benefits, the key enhancements over the mysql extension being:
- Object-oriented interface
- Support for Prepared Statements
- Support for Multiple Statements
- Support for Transactions
- Enhanced debugging capabilities
- Embedded server support
There are many improvements and both drivers have their benefits. Your stupid post are not welcome here.
Oh sorry, I forgot you're king of the forum.
Why would you use a driver which limits you to MySQL only?
:p
Not seen any other database type in, forever? At least not in a viable release.
