DIFFERENCES IN PHP CONNECTION TO MYSQL DB

Question

I am a newbie in php, but I got to know that there are three ways of connecting php to MySQL which are MySQLi(object-oriented), MySQLi(procedural) and PDO. I want to know which one I need to learn as a starter and also for writing complex programs.

Answer 1

PDO is the best by today's standards. It is also oriented object and easier to use.
