Connect to MySQL with MySQLi and PDO in PHP with Examples

PHP Database Connections with MySQLi and PDO. This video demonstrates PHP database connections using MySQLi and PDO. This is a PHP database connection tutorial that shows MySQLi and PDO connections and then apply them in PHP code to display data from the database. You can use a procedural or object-oriented style of connections using MySQLi. MySQLi and PDO differences are MySQLi connects to MySQL database only but in a PDO connection, you can connect to other databases as well, not just MySQL.

If you think your project may use any other database soon, it is better to use a PDO connection, because it will involve less code change even in database changes. Whereas, for MySQL, you need to change a lot of queries if the database changes from MySQL to another database.

Using an example, I have shown how you can connect to the database in PHP, fetch data from the database table and display it in an html table.
