Hello, 
    I am wondering with the DB's mysql and mysqli. I don't know the
difference between them. Is there anybody can tell me more? 
    I have use mysql 3.23 for a long time and want to upgrade it to 4.0. But
I am not know well about the new feathers of it. So I want to know whether can i use mysql to connect to mysql4.0 or not:) 
                Thanks !
The difference, as I have heard it, is that mysqli is mysql 4 specific and will likely not work on mysql < 4. The mysql type should still work on mysql 4. -- paperCrane <Justin Patrin>
