how to update your database with edit to edit the existing register with php and mysqli

[ДаниилКиселев-кк]

Great tutorial! I have a couple of questions though:
In 2016, would you recommend using MySQLi or PDO? or it doesn't matter?
And if I use MySQLi, is it better to use the object-oriented way show in this video, or the procedural way (the mysqli_connect()...)?
Please reply!

Hello, I got this error message:
Connect failed: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known.
I'm running through this series on a localhost (wamp) if that is somehow connected.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.


edit: nevermind, I've fixed. My "mysqli" attributes order was not correct.
