mysqli was developed to take advantage of the new features available in MySQL since version4.1.3. Also, you can use it since PHP5. So, if you code with PHP5 with a newer version of MySQL, it’s strongly recommended for you to use the extension “mysqli” over “mysql”.

“mysqli” extension is an improvement over the old “mysql” extension. In fact, the “i” in mysqli stands for “improved”.
