thanks feyd ! I wish I could get an abstraction layer for both extensions so that I could only focus on other side of developement. Has anybody written that ? Please share of you have one .
// MySQL extension
extension=php_mysql.dll
// MySQLi extension
extension=php_mysqli.dll
Has anybody tested that ?

Sure you can have both loaded. They each use a different function set. So you could have a connection to a mysql database using MySql functions AND a connection to a mysql database using MySqli functions at the same time. Though I wouldn't do it as that would really be a bad practice.
But there is nothing wrong with having both modules loaded. On my developement machine I have about a dozen different database extensions loaded for testing purposes and they don't clash with each other.
is there any mysqli abstraction layer written for php4/5 ? I also want to use that for testing purpose. Just interested using mysqli and if it's effective, I'll be using for real purpose.
There are two versions of adodb and adodblite. Which one is better ? lite means for speed executiion or having less modules ?
I can use anyone of them but anyone having experience on both of them can write which one is better .
