Note Submitter: @rhavendc (twitter) ---- After googling for answers and surveys, I still can't calculate how many people prefer the PDO from Mysqli or vice versa. They say PDO is better because it has many features especially about "being compatible to more than 1 database type" and it's also named as "Solution for the Future". Other say that they prefer Mysqli (including this page for saying "Yes - preferred option") because of course, in contrast to some disadvantages of PDO. We've already tried PDO but we found some difficulties/problems with it when we're working for it in localhost versus in the hosting site (but that's minor only). I am now using Mysqli and my interest to use it continues because I saw the goodness of it in this page, but my fear about the rumor that Mysqli will be removed in the future just like what happened in Mysql...IS THAT RUMOR TRUE? If yes, PDO will be the option but if not, I will stick to what I'm currently using.
