Choosing an API

PHP offers different APIs to connect to MySQL. Below we show the APIs provided by the mysqli and PDO extensions. Each code snippet creates a connection to a MySQL server running on "example.com" using the username "user" and the password "password". And a query is run to greet the user.

示例 #1 Comparing the MySQL APIs


<?php
// mysqli
$mysqli = new mysqli("example.com", "user", "password", "database");
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT 'Hello, dear MySQL user!' AS _message FROM DUAL");
$row = $result->fetch_assoc();
echo htmlentities($row['_message']);

// PDO
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=example.com;dbname=database', 'user', 'password');
$statement = $pdo->query("SELECT 'Hello, dear MySQL user!' AS _message FROM DUAL");
$row = $statement->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
echo htmlentities($row['_message']);

Feature comparison

The overall performance of both extensions is considered to be about the same. Although the performance of the extension contributes only a fraction of the total run time of a PHP web request. Often, the impact is as low as 0.1%.

Apart from the feature list, I suggest you try out both MySQLi and PDO and find out what API design you like most. MySQLi is more powerful and probably more complex to learn. PDO is more elegant and has the advantage that you only need to learn one PHP API if you need to work with different DBMS in the future.

Another point to consider and one of the advantages of PDO is that it's not limited to mysql and supports other database engines such as PostgreSQL, SQLite, etc.

These are quite possibly the most paradoxical lines in this table:

API supports non-blocking, asynchronous queries with mysqlnd
     ext/mysqli: Yes     PDO_MySQL: No
API supports client-side Prepared Statements
     ext/mysqli: No     PDO_MySQL: Yes

Apparently it's either asynchronous I/O or the security of bound parameters.
