Narcis Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) In the lasts months I have try to learn php. I really like w3 because explains the things in a very clear an direct way. But now I discover that I should not use mysql, that this is deprecated. More experienced people tell me that I should use mysqli I'm confused, is it true? why W3Schools does not talk about that? When will w3c update that information? Thank you Narcís Edited February 7, 2013 by Narcis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 mysql has been deprecated for a while, you should either use mysqli or PDO. Why they don't update their site to say that, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcis Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 This means that we should not learn php in W3c? What is a good place for an absolute beginner? (I think php.net is not a good place to learn for a beginner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Their general tutorials are mostly fine, just don't use the examples from the MySQL section. There are other places you can find that talk specifically about mysqli. http://www.databasej...i-extension.htmhttp://mattbango.com...php-and-mysqli/http://net.tutsplus....should-you-use/ Check the comments on those pages also, or do a Google search to find others. There are plenty of books about using PHP and MySQL that are much more comprehensive then any online tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
