I have been using php for quite a sometime now and encounter three different interfaces viz. \[code\]mysql_*, mysqli_* and PDO\[/code\] to connecting with mysql database. What i am not able to understand is why to have so many interfaces for the same.. if one is better then which one?? or is it a matter of choice between select one or other. Does there exists any difference in performance and speed with each of the interfaces?
