Hi all,

I'm looking into a good versatile PDF generator class/library to use with 
PHP 5? --- Preferably one which is maintained somewhat recently...


Mostly needed for basic pages, but I also have some longer reports (more 
than one  8.5" x 11" page) and it would be nice if  the pdf was able to 
split it up without losing part of the font when crossing page boundaries 
etc...

[PHP] Moving from mysql functions to mysqli or PDO - which is best?

[dealTek]

Hi folks,

[post newbie abilities] - I'm attempting to move away from PHP mysql functions 
to something newer, either mysqli or PDO.

I have read various things about them, but I'm curious at this point which 
would be best to learn for the present and future. I'm usually working on small 
to medium size projects.

I understand that PDO has an extra abstraction layer so it can work with / 
convert to other databases like oracle and others fairly easily, but some have 
said that PDO can be a bit slower the MySQLi?

So I would really like to hear opinions on the best choices of either MySQLi or 
PDO.

Also I'm also trying to learn OOP, so I'm looking for a very good working PDO 
and/or mysqli database class - to get started with, that has all the basic 
needs like UPDATE - INSERT - DELETE - QUERY etc. That would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance for your opinions!

Hi,

Probably some people will say PDO, others will say MySQLi, in general it
doesn't really matter, and I think you have named the biggest differences
in your mail.
So if you're going to stick with MySQL anyway, you can take advantage of
the speed with MySQLi.

What class are you looking for?
MySQLi can be used as a class, and PDO is a class too?
