Question

It is _never_ better to use the `mysql_*` api over MySQLi unless you're on a version of PHP that's so old it is unavailable. — Jonnix, Nov 16 '16 at 10:03
**Mysqli**. Cause **Mysql** extension is removed from latest version. — Sougata Bose, Nov 16 '16 at 10:03

Always use mysqli, the original mysql extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5 (manual)
