Answer 2

In my mind mysqli is the upgrade version of mysql. I personnaly use PDO to communicate with SQL so Im not well know the different of these two.

Answer 3

PDO is an object which do the same purpose that mySQL and mySQLi, which is communicate with database. That's a little bit like choose a tool to repair a house, you have different choices, I chose PDO but I could do the same with mySQL and mySQLi. PDO is more secure that mySQL functionalities but I didn't check about mySQLi cause I use to use PDO and it works for me :)
So to tell you a little bit more about PDO is an object hosting some methods to secure SQL requests, that might be a little bit weird to use at first but with a little bit of practice that's a great tool :)
