What is the difference between mysqli_connect and mysql_connect?
I’m just wondering when I should use which one. I see both being used, and it seems like they are interchangable.
Which connection is better and how are they fundamentally different when connecting?
They’re not interchangeable. There are different extensions to access MySQL databases.
