You can use mysqli in the same way as the old mysql version simpley by adding the "i" mysql_connect => mysqli_connect for example. Well, it looks to me (at least) a bit different as the mysqli_* looks like more OO, so if there's a php page with simple PHP script its getting a little bit w...

Hi Jacek, I was watching recently your video on Basics about the mysqli . I'm really sorry for posting about this subject, as there are a lot of discussions, as you've said about it.
