Most notable, the object ooriented interface. MySQLi also boasts to suppost MySQL 4.1 features that extMySQL does not support. All in all, MySQLi (as it seems) is just extMySQL built for a new version of PHP and MySQL. If you're starting a new project, and planning to use php 5.0 and MySQL 4.1+, I suggest MySQLi as opposed to extMySQL.
