I don´t know if this is the correct place to ask this questions but I
haver some doubts about using mysqli class in php. I am designing a
web place using wamp2 (php5, mysql 5.0.x ....). My databases have been
done using phpmyadmin so they are "normal" mysql, I mean that I have
done nothing with SQLITE. On the other hand, I am accessing to my
databases and tables using mysqli class and methods for example:
$conn = new mysqli ( ..........) (this is what I am using)
I am using that because I read in the internet that mysqli methods
where more efficient but I don´t know if it´s correct to use that
methods with my mysql database (it runs perfect).

You can use either of the clients to access the DB safely.
[At least in theory. I suppose there could exist some unknown bug
that makes a serious difference...]

so... is it correct? supposing that it´s correct to use it......is it
faster and better to use mysqli methods than using the functions that
were used before these new classes appeared?

It might or might not be faster, depending on a lot of factors, I
suspect...

It also might be a lot less stable, since it's a lot less pounded upon
by millions of users.

The speed difference will probably be completely irrelevant to you in
your real-life usage, if you're having to ask here...
