Need source of learning with PHP/MySQL

Question

I need source of learning on PHP/MySQL using xampp but I tried to search through the internet and mostly the tutorial are implementing MySQLi... I need to learn MySQL not MySQLi because our school teach that and the original language of MySQL. It confuses me right now on this two language of MySQL and I don't have a permanent source of learning the code so im learning on every different sources which gave me a mindblow Suggest me book,youtube channel,tutorial website which i could stick to one guide

Answer 1

@Louiezky honestly, I don't know, maybe you can test it out during work. I guess if PHP version < 7 mysql functions are still kept for backward compatibility, not really sure though.

Answer 2

use w3schools.com website for start learning about php and sql

sql
https://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp
php
https://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp

Answer 3

@Louiezky mysql API is no longer supported by PHP 7, that's why they (w3schools) switched focus on mysqli & PDO, so the learners don't get left behind. Even in PHP 5x it is only kept for supporting backward compatibility.
