I have spent 2 hours fighting with another dev once about mysqli vs pdo and how mysqli is probably worse than pdo, turns out the only difference is that pdo supports more databases, where as mysqli only supports mysql, else their spec is basically the same. 😰

    @Bitwise I used mysqli and secure mysql functions back when it was time to switch to bind params standards, but pretty quickly switched to pdo
