I’m reading up on php db classes and everything i’m reading recommends “PDO”. Cool. So what then is the purpose of “mysqli_stmt”? Is is deprecated?
Please advise.

There is more than one way to do things. PDO is a database layer that allows you to use many different database types via various drivers.
mysqli_*is only for MySQL.Both will get the job done when using a MySQL database. I recommend PDO, but that is just my preference, as I like the flexability of possibly changing databases more easily in the future.
